I fled America for Beirut's cultural freedom. Now I watch as bombs destroy my refuge -- and the best hope for a viable Middle East democracy.
Negotiating the peace
Rami Khouri
Diplomats must set aside ideology and focus on the resolvable Lebanese-Israeli dispute. Only then can the wider conflict between the U.S. and Israel, and the Arab world, be addressed.

Jesus: The coverup
Laura Miller
"Holy Blood, Holy Grail," the source for "The Da Vinci Code," is a masterwork of paranoid pseudohistory. Now its author is back, arguing that Jesus faked his own death and ran off with Mary Magdelene. Verily, there's a sucker born every minute.
