...fact than the Israelis have ever before indicated they might be willing to give up. It would hand back to Egypt more than two-thirds of the Sinai peninsula (see map), restoring the 1949 Israeli-Egyptian armistice line along much of the northern border. Israel would keep the Gaza Strip and a large share of the mountainous southern Sinai, in a triangle bordering the Gulf of Aqaba from Elath to Sharm el Sheikh. At least as the Israelis envisioned it, the Egyptian portion of the Sinai would be demilitarized. As of last week, the Israelis had not decided what legal...
...taxes and the modern pressures that pull families apart. There is also a healthy effort to confront a certain moral complexity.

Israel has so far refused to budge from those territories on the grounds that it needs secure borders against the Arabs. But what happens when that threat is removed? Three factions in the Israeli Cabinet suggest different solutions...
...refreshing variant of the headstrong heroine. She is a potentially capable woman to whom nothing has happened, so she has nothing to bring to a sudden flood of experience except some mulish preconceptions. Durham leads her through the standard scenes: the learn-your-place tethering by Jay, the strip-or-go-filthy decision, the threat of lascivious Indians. Catherine handles them all incongruously...
