...ground, I think neither the Palestinian side nor the Israeli side is prepared for such a breakthrough. Today I was in Nablus, attending the funeral of three people who were shot dead literally at the same time as Arafat was meeting [Israeli foreign minister Shlomo] Ben Ami. At the funeral, I heard it plainly, clearly, that people were condemning the meeting between Arafat and Ben Ami. A friend of mine in Gaza today attended the 13th-anniversary rally of Hamas along with tens of thousands of Palestinians.

...ami Koetsu, the Japanese artist, is scarcely known in the U.S., but in Japan he is a national treasure several times over--about as famous there as Benvenuto Cellini is in the West. This is because he was one of the supreme masters of calligraphy, an art that matters only to specialists on the American side of the Pacific but is wholly central to Japanese and Chinese aesthetics. It's understandable, therefore, that the present show of Koetsu's work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, though respectably attended, has not been packing in the crowds. This is a boon...
