Tidbits

• Couldn't make it to Israel this Pesach? Enjoy the next best thing, with beautiful aerial photos of choice sites throughout the country, as well as a "bird's eye" map ("Hover" section) of the Old City of Jerusalem.
• Shai, as usual, has a nice obit for Ezer Weizmann. His description of the Hametz obsession is, unfortunately, not that far off the mark even in "sane" circles.
• Quite a bit has been said about the AUT's decision to boycott my university as well as Haifa U. A correspondent of mine from Haifa says there's nothing to worry about, while others are, justifiably, up in arms. Personally, I think we should see if this "decision" has real teeth, as opposed to just blowing off hot air. Besides, as others have pointed out on the academia mail list - the less publicity given Ilan Pappe, who compensates for his mediocrity by screaming "boycott", the better.
