Despite the danger to their small children and themselves, the Jewish settlers here stay largely out of religious conviction, a belief that the land they occupy was deeded to the Jews by God. It's an opinion few share. The U.S. has repeatedly condemned the settlers, and even within Israel, many see them as an obstacle to peace. "You are endangering yourselves and us in vain with your hopeless obstinacy," novelist A.B. Yehoshua wrote in an Israeli paper last week...
...appears there is a large and stubborn minority of the population who do not share Ramstetter's priorities.

Mercedes-Benz is introducing a high-tech SmartKey with its 2001 models that remembers exactly how you like to set up your car's interior: where you position the seat, at what angle you like the mirrors, your preferred air-conditioning setting. The second you turn on the ignition, the car rearranges itself for your pleasure. Of course, you could change the settings yourself, but that would be too much like work...
