S & SCREEN J.C.C. TOASTMASTERS Public Speaking Group "Listen to me," the old man said. "You must listen to me." Uzi and I took turns beat- ing the boy while the lieu- tenant and the old man watched. "Don't know," he mumbled. "Don't know." It was possible that he was telling the truth, but we had less than an hour left, and we had to make sure. Uzi hit him in the stomach once more and then we both had the same idea at the same time. I had unconsciously scratched the nape of my neck with the muzzle of the Beretta. The lieutenant, who was yawning again, lowered his hand, took a deep breath, and straightened up. He understood too. "Shoot him," Uzi said in Arabic. I released the Beretta's safety catch and aimed with both hands at the lieutenant's face. The old man grabbed the barrel, and I was so surprised, I let go. The lieutenant jumped to the right, toward the window, but was off balance, and landed on his knees. The first round, which hit his chest, spun him around, and threw him on his back. Then the old man walked over and shot him in the right eye. The boy cried, "Yah Allah!" — "Oh God!" — and told us what we wanted to know. Uzi took notes on a pad of yellow paper. The old man gave me back the gun, and said, "Let the blood be on my head. I don't matter. But you were born here. Take care! The Holy One, blessed be He, has given your generation the Land of Israel. Be worthy of His gift. Keep your hands clean." From the book The Elephant DAY: Every Tuesday TIME: 7:30 P.M.
