Moreover, airplane interiors are the ugliest places in the world, except for the Sackler museum. One must wonder who gets paid to choose the color schemes for commercial planes. The wavy lines that go across everything aren't so bad. Even the rugs on the walls that separate plebes from those idiots in first class aren't so appalling. But the seats are horrible. The designers have eshewed simple fabrics and normal solid colors in favor of strange shades of brownish green or rusty orange, (or, worse, a combination of both...

While his previous appearances had been mostly peaceful, this one was marked by perhaps the ugliest violence the Pope has witnessed during all his foreign travels.

Last week those deaths had embroiled the Jerusalem government in an increasingly bitter controversy that included charges of a cover-up. The struggle involved a test of wills between Labor Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Attorney General Yitzhak Zamir, who wants an investigation of the chief of Shin Bet, the Hebrew acronym for Israel's general security service, which is primarily responsible for domestic antiterrorism...
