Abstract

The Crossroads of Jerusalem
Krosney, Herbert | February 3, 1969 issue

There's a narcotic in the air of Jerusalem. Some say it is the hashish which comes across from the West Batik at very cheap prices. A few believe it is the political tension, which occasionally blows in as an ill wind, seems to disappear, but is always lurking somewhere, ignored for the most part by the city's residents. The city is gray-brown, built on a rough-hewn stone. Only within, in hidden corners, does one sense any luxury of vegetation. The old-time view, of course, is that Jerusalem is the center of the world. From it stemmed the three great religions, springing from the single Hebrew root, but blossoming in different manifestations of monotheism.
