...disaster in Ramallah--and Israel's tough response--was what elevated the crisis to calamity. The problem started when Vadim Norzich, 35, and Yossi Avrahami, 38, made a wrong turn as they drove to their army base in the West Bank after being called up for duty like hundreds of other Israeli reservists last week.

Something's wrong with Kevin Spacey's face. At first you think it's just a case of bad lighting. But soon you realize this is scar tissue--not enough to turn him into a grotesque, but plenty to explain why his Eugene Simonet, a junior high social-science teacher, is prissy, overintellectual and socially withdrawn...
