Though they have never glimpsed Palestine, barely 40 miles across the low hills to the south, Mayor (Mukhtar) Said el Khatib believes that, "some of them know more than we do about the property back home." It is a knowledge that is cultivated. "When our sons first speak," says Masa'ad Haidary, 43, a holdout Arab warrior until 1948, "Palestine is in their mouths, and each morning before they eat we speak to them of Palestine...
...costs about $30,000 per year, probably more, to maintain such an individual. It is not, I insist, crass to speak of money in such a situation: Money is human life in a hospital.

Racism is racism and consists not of condemning a certain race but of believing that such a concept as "race" has any meaning...
...some simultaneous comic bit. In a single instance, he shows an excess of reverence to the lines, freezing an admirably raucous forest banquet to a tableau, while Jaques (Kenneth Tiger) puts the "Seven Ages of Men" through their paces. On balance, though, Mr. Michaels has directed his actors to speak with speed, clarity and nuance, and they make many more verbal points than they lose...
