...Artzi-Pelossof paints a humane picture of Israel and its people. She repeatedly explains her and her friends' desire for peace, their integration into Western culture (MTV and McDonald's pop up frequently), their intimate experiences with war and the army and their respect for democracy. By the same token, she demonizes Yigal Amir and the religious fanaticism which produced him as a cancer in the midst of a generally well-meaning population: "[The assassin] was just a gun, a robot deprived of any human identity, someone who had been indoctrinated by a well-oiled system of hate, a system...
...that made him look ineffective at best and hard-hearted at worst. First he was forced to pull back an immigration-reform bill when minority leader Tom Daschle tacked on an amendment that would raise the minimum wage by 90'.

Prime point in question was the publication of the story that the ransom had been paid and that a lookout...
...hand, and for several months I was under the impression I would never paint again; I bitterly regretted the work I had never put down on canvas. But I learned to paint with my left hand, and will never again neglect my duties as a painter. By the same token, I'd been planning a book about the 1939 New York World's Fair. It was to be such an abnormal book--part history, part novel--that I figured it would be years before I worked up enough courage to write the thing. But when I got home from...
