...element foreign to Lebanon. According to CIA and U.S. Navy profiles of this terrorist organization, Hezbollah is an Iranian- and Syrian-sponsored group of fundamentalist Shia Muslims that has carried out horrific attacks on civilians of the world. Hezbollah is widely believed to be behind the 1983 truck bombing that killed 241 Americans in Beirut. It was also responsible for the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires. Contrary to the claim of the authors that the sole aim of the Hezbollah aggression in Southern Lebanon is "to end the Israeli occupation of their country" (which country, Iran...
There were also scenes that make Hitchcock movies look harmless. One player refused to go out into the field, making a path to the Mister Softee ice cream truck instead; he has since left the team. In another game, we yielded five runs in the last inning when we had a five-run lead, before losing in extra innings...
While Lugar stares at his hands, the lawyer pitches a tale of innocent patriotism at odds with the cold, brawler's face of his client: how a good-hearted truck driver trying to make ends meet for a wife, two daughters, a sick mother, six cats and two parrots, gave up everything to defend his brother Serbs in Bosnia; how he never did anything but "stand guard" and "carry out ordinary military orders"; how in return for risking his life, he is broke and jobless, his children are shunned and his own government is trying to make him a scapegoat...

Moving through the show is like being alternately slugged and hectored by a redneck Godzilla with strong libertarian-anarchist convictions. His truck used to have ED KIENHOLZ--EXPERT painted on the door. You might not trust Roy Lichtenstein to frame a shed or Jasper Johns to re-weld a railing, but Kienholz was doing that stuff since childhood. He was brought up on a farm in the Northwest, near Fairfield, Washington...
