Roosters crow at dawn and pigs are even uglier and smellier than the ones you wrinkled your noses at in the children...

Despite his heavy work load, he finds time to write poetry, which he keeps to himself, and has published two books, including David's Sling, an autobiographical account of his role in building Israel's defenses.

She learned to "walk in the dark" in search of her mother when she was five or six, and though ghosts held no terror for her, she developed a violent fear of wolves. She retained the scars caused by a ravenous pack of dogs who attacked her one of those nights...
