Egyptians dubbed Kissinger "the magician" after he piloted a similar shuttle to a disengagement agreement between their forces and Israel's last January-and they were certain that he could do it with Syria and Israel.

...this weather, you should really be outside: Carpenter Center boasts a sculpture-fountain (Stainless steel and moving water) by Susumu Shingu, a good way to satisfy both aesthetic and physical needs. But if Museum-tromping is imposed upon you, console yourself with Renoir's "Bal a Bougival" at the MFA. A regular exhibit that nobody talks about much, but it's the most beautiful painting in Boston...
