...Maze Seven have now been moved to separate cells in the medical wing of the prison, where their condition is closely monitored by doctors. For nearly three hours each evening they are allowed to see each other, a privilege not granted other protesting prisoners. Their relatives are also allowed a weekly visit, again an improvement over arrangements for the "blanket-men." But none of the fasting prisoners have touched the food that is routinely prepared and offered, and their spokesmen continue to insist that their demands are nonnegotiable...

The bribes were allegedly for directing ministerial funds to yeshivot (religious schools) that did not in fact exist. As the storm broke over his head, Abuhatzeira appeared on Israeli television and cockily denounced the stories as "provocation and a libel...

Weighing up to 50,000 tons apiece, solar satellites would have to be built in space itself, with materials carried aloft by a new generation of craft considerably larger and more powerful than the NASA space shuttle. Looking like great Erector Sets, the structures, about six miles long and three miles wide, would be made of long thin beams actually manufactured in space out of rolls of aluminum or carbon-fiber strips about as thick as the wall of a beer can. In the weightlessness of orbit, nothing stronger would be needed...
