		<description><![CDATA[Just before I left Tel Aviv, at the Dizengoff mall, I saw one thing which gave me hope: a dozen young men, many of whom were dressed in soldier's uniforms sitting at some tables, playing what appeared to be Magic: The Gathering Now, I know absolutely nothing about the game. I had a roommate in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inherent bias makes the media go round Much print and electronic press has been devoted to discussions of whether news media, particularly the British Broadcasting Company, perpetuate an anti- (or pro-) Israel bias. The seldom stated, but often whispered truth of the matter is that all newsreporting is inherently biased— towards the story that's most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brought to you by the letter 'P' I'm fifteen minutes at a brisk walk from the first major mall in Tel Aviv, Dizengoff Centre. It's a substantial structure, spanning both sides of a busy street, with winding levels that circle back onto themselves, and cross-over bridges between the two sides. I was there to return [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Israeli bureaucracy and inefficiency can drive new arrivals from the States absolutely bonkers. The day after my advent, my aunt and I drove to a bank in nearby Petah Tikva to set up a new account. We waited for about 45 minutes to get called for a personal teller, who, just my luck, was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Israeli economic system belies common sense. So far as I can tell, on average, wages are about half of what they might be in the States. Yet, many things cost twice as much&#8212; certainly, anything imported. Electronics, fuel and utilities are significantly more expensive than in North American. How people manage to survive with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The streets of Tel Aviv-- the birthplace of Ilan Ramon-- are unusually quiet today. People talk in hushed tones. The weather is warm and bright, but feels overcast. Addendum: I wrote the preceding from a Dizeingoff Center Internet cafe. Afterwards, I went outside to grab a falafel. As I sat there, the skies went from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Among America's most successful cultural exports must be the tobacco habit. By my reckoning, smokers are about a quarter of the population in Israel. (My guesstimate was right on the money -- see the articles below.) Movies feature an intermission apparently geared towards smokers; half way through the projectionist stops the film and brings up [...]]]></description>

The drivers here make the French look like the Germans in terms of patience and respect for other vehicles.

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday was the Israeli national pastime known as Knesset Elections. It's a holiday, to make voting more convenient. In a country of only 4.7 million voters, in such turbulent times, one would expect nearly everyone to vote. This year, however, the turnout was the lowest ever-- around 68.5%-- a percentage that would make US politicos [...]]]></description>
