...Barghouti is preparing--in a row of tiny classrooms built into the ancient north wall of the compound. As principal of al-Aqsa School, Barghouti drills 140 young Koranic scholars in the literal divinity of the stones from which their schoolroom is built. "This Jewish temple is a pure lie," says Barghouti. "It's the duty of every Muslim to die to defend al-Aqsa...
...quick, hour-long and free performance with racy humor embedded in a fast-paced verbal joust.

That it contains a secret lair equipped with a lie detector is nobody's business. That the lyrics of his favorite song, Puff the Magic Dragon, may contain a hidden metaphor comes as an unwelcome surprise to him. That a suggestion that his affection for his daughters, especially Pam (Teri Polo), may be touched by feelings that would make Oedipus blush could earn you termination with maximum prejudice--as the beta male candidate for her affections...
