Similarly, Mahmoud Abbas—universally considered a moderate—recently gave his strong approval for the naming of a square after a suicide bomber terrorist responsible for the deaths of 37 innocent Israeli civilians; negotiation with partners that glorify terror also seems a fruitless pursuit...

...novel, Imperfect Birds (Riverhead; 278 pages), functions in reverse, suggesting all the terror of the big picture. It's about Elizabeth and James, liberal do-gooders from Marin County, California (and the subjects of her previous novels Rosie and Crooked Little Heart), and their daughter Rosie. At 17, Rosie is "black-haired, strapping and fabulous" and an academic high achiever, but she does every drug under the sun, including her peers' parentally dispensed Adderall.
