Diasporah
The year is 2086. As the result of a Shiite Final Solution, there are no longer any Israelis in the Middle East; indeed there is no one at all in the Middle East. The once-Fertile Crescent is a mass of radioactive slag. But unlike Islam, Israel survives. Sixty thousand miles beyond the Moon floats the space city HAZARA YSROEL. Begun 80 years before, it is now home to six million New Israelis, who for a while believed that they had found peace and prosperity beyond the confines of Earth. But the more things change the more they stay the same. Terrorist acts against HAZARA YSROEL are on the rise. The now-powerful United Nations makes pious noises--and does nothing. Soon the people of New Israel must make yet another desperate choice.

Clear It with Sid!
The son of a Lithuanian blacksmith, Sidney R. Yates rose to the pinnacle of Washington power and influence. As chair of a House Appropriations Subcommittee, Yates was a preeminent national figure involved in issues that ranged from the environment and Native American rights to Israel and support for the arts. Speaker Tip O'Neill relied on the savvy Chicagoan in the trenches and advised anyone with controversial legislation to first "clear it with Sid!" Michael C. Dorf and George Van Dusen draw on scores of interviews and unprecedented access to private papers to illuminate the life of an Illinois political icon. Wise, energetic, charismatic, petty, stubborn--Sid Yates presented a complicated character to constituents and colleagues alike. Yet his get-it-done approach to legislation allowed him to bridge partisan divides in the often-polarized House of Representatives. Following Yates from the campaign trail to the negotiating table to the House floor, Dorf and Van Dusen offer a rich portrait of a dealmaker extraordinaire and tireless patriot on a fifty-year journey through postwar American politics.
