When I interviewed Art Buchwald for TIME last May, he was working on a book which he called The Man Who Wouldn't Die. The longtime Washington columnist had been told that his days were numbered after refusing dialysis treatments for his failing kidneys. But he didn't die, and returned home, continuing to write. Clearly he found it enormously amusing to catch the medical profession flat-footed. He was a little pale when I saw him, but his voice was strong and his mind was as sharp as the day we'd met back in the 1970s, when...

And I'm the happiest father alive!") Early in the film, Abhishek uses his dimples...
...Israelis appreciate this. Every Israeli prime minister has cultivated their goodwill. Evangelical leaders, in turn, have been content to accept Israeli decisions. If Christian Zionists really were the crazed fanatics of liberal Jewish imaginings, they wouldn't have been so sanguine about Israeli withdrawals from "promised land...
