And one of the most exhilarating things about the game is that the normal rules of social interaction are rubberized. Clarity is not the point. "Flirting opens a window of potential. Not yes, not no," says Perper. "So we engage ourselves in this complex game of maybe." The game is not new.

...Desbois has taken Holocaust research in a new direction. As he sees it, his work is more like "a police investigation," in which he tracks down eye witnesses, cross-checks their stories, and hunts for graves and bullet shells. The resulting voices of hundreds of witnesses provide a window into how a well-organized genocide could occur in these Ukrainian communities with no one choosing, or able, to stop it.

At Manger Square, in front of Jesus' birthplace, American security experts were spotted prying up manholes to check sewage pipes for bombs. These draconian security precautions prompted one Palestinian official, who opposes his own President's close ties with Bush, to comment: "What's all this fear?
