As long as we're on back issues, I'd like to mention the article "Hostages" by David Remnick in the January 22 issue. It is not really about the Israeli hostages but is more about Benjamin Netanyahu, whose portrait appears with the article. As he describes Mr. Netanyahu's career, one wonders how he holds on to power. And there is also a lot of information about Gaza, the Palestinians, and Hamas and its leaders. It was really eye-opening for me.
