There is not much to Netzarim, the Jewish settlement in the heart of the Gaza Strip. Amid a neat grid of white cottages, a few patches of grass struggle against the native sand. There is a cluster of trailer homes, some chicken yards, hothouses for lettuce, and a patch of mango trees. Netzarim is a tiny community of just 32 families -- 180 people -- but it is the cause of great commotion. As the most vulnerable of the Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, Netzarim and the Israeli army contingent that guards it have become favorite targets for Palestinian militants. Over...

...Hollywood sets, fawning interviews with stars, and other fluff indistinguishable from advertising. Sometimes it is advertising. An "exclusive first look" at a new movie on E.T. (last week's story on the new Schwarzenegger comedy Junior, for instance) often turns out to be nothing but the studio-made trailer for the film. E.T.'s anchors and reporters cozy up to stars like old friends; they're all part of the same world.
