Cover Story

Bombing Aftermath

page 88

I

t has been 10 days since the bombing at Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. The blast in the popular Mt.
Scopus campus cafeteria took seven lives — including
five Americans — injured more than 80 and removed what
had been an oasis in a desert of tragedy.
In our coverage today, which begins on page 20, the reali-
ty of the situation in the Middle East hits too close to home
for Detroiters who are alumni of Hebrew University, have
family attending school there, or knew some of the victims.
Their riveting accounts about the humanity of the students
and the centrality of the Hebrew University experience to their
lives is only heightened in our Insight piece on page 27. There,
one of the victms, in an article written just a month before her
death, poignantly summarizes her hopes, her dreams, her hap-
piness and her fears while attending Hebrew University.
Marla Bennett's account mirrors our own hopes and
dreams. It is something you must read.
