A Fence Across The Sand

Israel knows the story all too well. The blast was “a kind of terrorism we didn’t face two or three years ago – only in Lebanon,” Rabin said afterward, recalling the devastating attacks of the mid-’80s that slowly turned Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbor into a defeat. Last week’s blast at a bus depot near Netanya was the sixth major suicide bombing in the Israeli heartland since April. It brought home a bitter truth: shutting down Palestinian fundamentalists now takes precedence overcementing peace with the Palestine Liberation Organization....

A Field Guide To Neocolonialists

This is a world without rules. You won’t discover whether one country should become involved in the affairs of another by reading the United Nations Charter, and now that the cold war is over it’s hard to deduce whether intervention is justified by a search for that holy grail, “the national interest.” “We are confronted with 10 or 20 situations,” U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali told Newsweek. “To solve them costs only 2 or 3 percent of what the cold war cost....

A Folk Hero S Hot Odyssey

That life becomes a hot odyssey of jazz in scenes vibrating with music, dance, humor and sensuality. The New Orleans-born Jelly is cast out by his Creole family, hightoned mixed-bloods who scorn Jelly’s lowdown music. A Paul Bunyanish braggart who boasts, “I invented jazz,” Jelly is a dandy, a pool hustler, a womanizer who bounces around the country sowing the seeds of the new music. He flares into stardom as composer and pianist, a stardom that flames out in the 1930s as the country is “swingin’ to a whole new sound” - the big-band sound of Ellington and Basie....

3 Ways To Stretch High Heels

Be aware that this technique works best on leather/suede shoes. It also usually works on fake leather. However, false leather tends to shrink back to its original size rather quickly, so you’ll have to repeat this a couple of times for the full effect. If you simply cannot fit your feet into the shoes, then remove a layer of socks and try again. Leave your sock-clad feet in the heels until the leather cools....

In that case, you can still add a curl to the tip of your hair by wrapping just the end around part of the roller. If you have wavy or curly hair, you can twist your hair instead of using rollers....

Choose caffeinated coffee so that your lotion will also improve the look of your cellulite. You can use a medium or dark roast, though dark roast will result in a darker color.

3 Ways To Teach Someone To Love Themselves

Explain that healthy self-love involves recognizing their strengths, accepting their weaknesses, being proud of their achievements. Distinguish healthy self-love from boasting about accomplishments to make others feel bad, which is probably a sign of low self-esteem. Mention that taking care of themselves is part of self-love. For example, taking time off from work to avoid burnout isn’t selfish. It’s a necessary part of maintaining physical and mental health. Remind them that self-love is not the same as selfishness....

3 Ways To Tell When Salmon Is Cooked

You can use a fork, but they usually do more damage to the salmon, which may mar your presentation. Because the salmon continues to cook off the heat, it’s okay if you remove when it’s slightly under cooked. If you wait until the center is a slightly translucent pink and the fish gives way easily with the fork, it should be perfectly done after it sits.
