...Israeli Cyclops was victorious in the Six-Day War and died peacefully in bed. But before and between these terminals a tragedy unfolded, according to his daughter.

Israel's young can be more flexible than their elders on other issues, too, and are both questioning and speaking out on them. Yael Maschler, 22, a mathematics and linguistics major at the university, is sympathetic toward the Palestinian Arabs. Says she: "If they want a state, I can understand that.
