...Simon's son, John Hyrcanus (134 to 104 B.C.). Hyrcanus, according to the Jewish historian Josephus, was friendly to the anti-Hellenist Pharisees ("Separators") who clung to the old ways. Once Hyrcanus gave a dinner for their leaders, and after dinner invited their opinions on his rule, whereupon Eleazar bluntly told him he had no right to the High Priesthood. Promptly, John Hyrcanus switched his favor to the pro-Hellenistic Sadducees and the Pharisaic observances were forbidden. It is not hard to imagine, according to some scholars, that a strict-thinking band of Pharisees heard in outspoken Eleazar...
Israel and the U.S. could talk. The U.N.'s own tireless Dag Hammarskjold said he had got Egypt to agree to let the U.N. deploy into the Gaza Strip. The President received a letter from Israel's Ben-Gurion that was considered "constructive," whereupon Israel's Ambassador to the U.S..Abba Eban, flew back from Israel. Dulles held an unusual Sunday conference at his home with congressional leaders, then a few hours later met with Eban. and a new round of diplomacy got under way.

...then, perhaps he hasn't really written a play. A critic reportedly once chastised Bernard Shaw for never having presented a death scene on the stage, whereupon GBS replied by writing the drawn-out, harrowing affair which takes up most of the last act of The Doctor's Dilemma.

For a play which...
...corps commander rode by? Angrily, the colonel of the regiment replied that his men had been marching night and day for a week in an attempt to beat Bragg's Confederates to Louisville, and he "would not hold a dress parade at midnight for any damned fool living." Whereupon General Gilbert ordered the regiment's colors taken away. It was a mistake. The color sergeant loudly announced that he would kill the general if he so much as touched the colors. Another enlisted man shouldered forward, shouted: "Here, you damned son of a bitch, get out of here...
...case. The second look reveals that all the information lodged against Goldsmith was obtained from his personal enemies or from well-known cranks (the studio, boldly risking public approbation, calls them "overzealous patriots"). In the end Goldsmith, like Chasanow, wins back his job, along with full back pay. Whereupon the moviemakers timidly but firmly point the obvious moral: in time of ideological war, when it is perhaps essential for the populace to be armed with intellectual weapons, there are bound to be some casualties. There might be fewer if people would learn to distinguish between responsible sentries and vengeful snipers...
