What Kolesnikov did in deciding to describe his position and entrapment, others have also done--in states of repose or terror. When a JAL airliner went down in 1985, passengers used the long minutes of its terrible, spiraling descent to write letters to loved ones. When the last occupants of the Warsaw Ghetto had finally seen their families and companions die of disease or starvation, or be carried off in trucks to extermination camps, and there could be no doubt of their own fate, still they took scraps of paper on which they wrote poems, thoughts, fragments of lives, rolled...
Israeli officials are livid that Arafat has allowed Hamas and Islamic Jihad to sit on his National and Islamic Forces Committee, a gathering of political factions that has been meeting regularly during the latest round of violence. But Hamas activists deny they are coordinating their terror campaigns with Arafat. "Are you crazy?" says a Hamas leader, indicating that Arafat is far too moderate for the ends Hamas has in mind.

After that, there was no shortage of armed men volunteering for nightly anti-gang patrols...
...Despite the efforts of President Clinton, Arafat and Barak, the last cease-fire collapsed within 48 hours. And it may take more than an Arafat-Peres duet to give the latest attempt more traction. In the face of Hamas terror bombings designed to stop the peace process, the late Yitzhak Rabin had vowed to "fight terrorism as if there is no peace and pursue peace as if there is no terrorism." But for Barak there's not much peace left to pursue...
