Performance Of The Week

To advance the cause of peace in the Middle East, four Israeli and four Palestinian climbers--including former combatants in the fighting--scaled a hitherto unconquered mountain in remote Antarctica last week and raised their flags on its summit. The Israeli-born businessman behind the plan, HESKEL NATHANIEL, then read a proclamation calling for an end to violence and dubbed the peak the Mountain of Israeli-Palestinian Peace.
