They mean nothing to me. And I am only one among the millions of sad women like myself.

But a shield to repel incoming nuclear missiles from American soil they said, was too expensive and wouldn't work.

The Great Depression was going on, so that the station and the streets teemed with homeless people, just as they do today.

Israelis are wrong in not looking for a change in the relationship with the United States that would put it more in perspective - that we are the great power, they are the minor power.
