...contrary opinions. One authority will claim that a wife has nothing of her own while her husband lives; another will argue that she is entitled to personal property for her private use. In the view of one lenient rabbi, the Sabbath was made for man; another will demand the strict observance of so many Sabbath regulations that they seem, says a Talmudic sage, "like a chain of mountains hanging on a hair."

When border police accidentally shot a girl spallona in the neck last winter, citizens picketed the guard post with placards declaring: YOU SHOULDN'T SHOOT A GIRL FOR SMUGGLING! Actually, the police are not as strict as they might be, since the mountain folk, if foiled in cigarette smuggling, might take to something serious like narcotics.
