From there the trail grows tenuous and circumstantial. The mailbox on the Brooklyn apartment bears the names of both Elgabrowny and his cousin El Sayyid Nosair, who is serving a prison term on weapons-possession charges related to the 1990 slaying of Rabbi Meir Kahane, a Zionist zealot. Salameh is known to have worshipped at a Jersey City mosque -- actually a bare room under a leaky roof -- where he would have heard the fiery sermons of Sheik Omar Abdel- Rahman, a blind cleric from Egypt whom the U.S. government is trying to deport. The sheik vocally advocates overthrow...
...never have prime-time entertainment shows been so bold about commenting on current affairs -- or their creators been so willing to step outside their characters to engage in political debate. "I had no animosity toward Quayle," says Bergen, "but then this glint of a zealot appeared. With the recent poverty figures that have been released, and the highest levels of unemployment since 1984, making ((Murphy's motherhood)) a campaign issue is insane."

Bernal makes him an expedient turncoat whose only zeal is for Kim -- a dull, soap-opera diminution...
...zealot told me, with no supporting evidence whatsoever, that William F. Weld '66 would "ruin" the state. If so, then Silber would surely have done the same, since his positions were not fundamentally opposed to Weld's in any substantial manner. Both want to cut spending in the legislature (one by fiat, one by delicate trimming), both want to decrease regulation and increase incentives in education, both have proposed increasing the emphasis on hospice and home health care as opposed to nursing care...
