Historical revisionism, the great intellectual adventure of the late twentieth century, continues at the dawn of the twenty-first, as perilous as ever. But what is known of the revisionists?

The Chicago Public Library's program “One Book, One Chicago” has chosen, for 2002, Elie Wiesel's Night, a little book that purports to be an account of this Jew's experiences at Auschwitz, Buchenwald and other camps after deportation in 1944 at age 15.

With thousands of victims and riveting images of death and destruction, war has come home to America with terrible, devastating suddenness. Together with our fellow citizens, we mourn the many victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon building. But beyond the feelings of grief…

Following the devastating attack on the World Trade Center on September 11th, various commentators have attempted to explain the event to their audiences.

When the Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi, was shot by a Palestinian assassin the other day, it was the first killing of an Israeli cabinet minister by an Arab.
