Sharing a Lane
It was a second and telling. I could join her lane. I wouldn't be sitting like a grump in a vinyl chair, passive, while others swam, some hogging a lane, lifeguards not doubling us up. Her gesture was generous,...

Indifference etc.
I thought they'd left and I could continue forgetting them. They were friends, a couple from Cairo living in the US to improve their lives. Well-educated, both with master's degrees, they'd come to say goodbye before heading to another...

Abortion: Whose body is it?
Two oldsters squared off and squabbled over women's bodies. A septuagenarian and an octogenarian quarreled about control but it wouldn't have made a difference if 20 or 30-year-olds were at it. They were men, making the scene still more...

Judgement at Nuremberg: Still a must-see

Ridgewood, Queens
Ridgewood, a pocket of Queens I'd barely heard of growing up at the far end of the borough, borders two even more obscure to me names, Middle Village and Glendale. On the Myrtle Ave. subway line, Ridgewood, once farmland...

Tourist in Bethlehem
I’m reluctant to enter but my companion generously springs for the 20 shekel admission. I walk past the bellhop, a chimp statue in red, and go in, suspicious from the start, admittedly a closed frame of mind. The town...

Barry and Lydia
They're a dime a dozen and unfortunately I know a few. Yet to set foot in the Middle East, the existence of Israel pisses them off, anything it does a reason to rage. Two good examples are Barry and...
