...headquarters in Hebron. The Israeli and Palestinian commanders shook hands at the gate, and Palestinian police streamed into the headquarters. Hebron, after 30 years of Israeli occupation, was occupied no longer. "This is the happiest day of my life," one officer shouted, flashing a V-sign from inside a window. Within an hour, some 400 Palestinian police had taken control of the prescribed 80 percent of Hebron, and the Israeli army said its withdrawal was complete. The agreement had allowed ten days for the pullout, but both sides worked quickly, to give militants of either side less opportunity for violence...

Hollis dates back to the 18th century, when George Washington and his troops stayed here during the Revolution.

Using the master tape as a timeline, as well as freeze-frames of the bench...
...left panel depicts a moment of revelation, the epiphany of a young career. The youth crowned like a king gazes through the thick black mullions of a window into a vision outside, of a blind organ-grinder making celestial music for a choir of angels. It is a version of the dream of unmediated childhood vision in the work of William Blake, "the noble English genius," as Beckmann called him, "a superterrestrial patriarch." It also represents the starting point of Beckmann's lifelong quest as a painter, his quest for the self, "the great veiled mystery of the world...
