...Space Odyssey. Even with the passing of some nine years, Stanley Kubrick's cinematic sojourn into and among the stars remains the ultimate word on spedial effects, "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" notwithstanding. The opening and closing sequences of the film provide some of the most awesome footage in movie history, portraying the beginnings of man's ascent and the possible end of that progression respectively. The eery genius of the film's bookends has a way of throwing the rest of the narrative into relief, but any movie that features as original a piece...

"I spent a great deal of time with extraordinary victims of half a dozen wars," he remembers with the air of an old warden.

Calderazzo's sojourn soon ended at Ullo's San Fernando Valley home. The FBI's two other witnesses, Robert Zander, 28, and Craig Petzold, 32, say that they were working at Ullo's place when they heard screams from a guesthouse. Minutes later, they said, Ullo summoned them to the house, where they saw Calderazzo's body. They testified that Ullo gave Zander a .22 automatic with instructions that it be delivered to Connor. Then the pair were ordered to dump Calderazzo's body in the desert, where it became fodder for scavenging animals...

...midst of the earth." That could be interpreted as the need for a Cairo-Damascus-Jerusalem federation. Ezekiel 47: 22 could be taken to point out that Israelis have a responsibility not just to Jewish immigrants but to the Palestinian Arabs under their jurisdiction: "The strangers that sojourn among you . . . they shall be unto you as the homeborn, [and] they shall have inheritance with...
