...Jazeera's coverage has resembled that of a national news channel rallying its people to war. Such was the case four weeks ago, when Israel initially began the siege of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Ramallah compound. Then the visual mix was electrifying: old images of speeches by a younger, more virile Arafat spliced with startling images of bloodied faces of Palestinian victims, Israeli snipers taking aim at children, and a contemporary clip of Arafat declaring that he wanted to be a "martyr, martyr, martyr, martyr."

Coverage of him in history textbooks has declined to less than 10% of what it was in the 1960s. The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, which owns his family home in Virginia, wants to restore Washington to his rightful place in our history and hearts, but for that to happen, the father...
...think the younger group gets out of it that's it a good story, and would need guidance to really get more out it. High school kids would, I hope, be amused by the controlling metaphors in the book, and the symbolism...
