...latest outrage in the seven-month Aqsa intifadeh touched nerves already dangerously raw. The brutality of the murders raised ever louder demands that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon strike harder at the Palestinians. Israeli newspapers expressed shock that surpassed their anger seven weeks ago when a Palestinian sniper killed Shalhevet Pass, a 10-month-old in the Israeli settlement in Hebron. It somehow seemed worse that this time the victims were not Hebron extremists, but peaceable people of Tekoa in Gush Etzion...
...care.To them, every dead Vietnamese was Viet Cong. We knew differently. There were literally thousands of cases where shots were fired, bombs dropped and rockets launched without any sure knowledge of the target's capabilities, intentions or age. America's children were plunged overnight into a world of sniper fire, ambushes, buddies going home in body bags and the confusion created when enemies and allies look and dress the same...
...radio listener who absorbed everything in the AM Top 40 between 1963 and 1969. Before the Ramones he was a glam-rocker, another New York Dolls fan.

...favorite of Milosevic's wife, Mira, for 2 million deutsche marks ($900,000) on Oct. 4, 2000 - the day before the revolution.

...again bedeviling the Holy Land. The Palestinians do more than throw stones; and the Israelis are entitled to their own odes to lost children. Like 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass, the daughter of Jewish settlers in the mostly Palestinian city of Hebron, who died last month when a sniper put a bullet, apparently intentionally, through her head. Last week, one-year-old Ariel Yered was critically wounded in a Palestinian mortar attack on the Atzmona settlement in the Gaza Strip. Almost 400 Palestinians and 65 Israelis have died since last fall, when peace negotiations imploded over the question of Jerusalem...
