Well, I was going to make my first post an answer to the question of how the "newbies" decided to take up cycling but this might be a good opportunity to get opinions from more erudite readers.
I am currently reading "Gideon's Spies" the secret history of the Mossad by Gordon Thomas with a Reginald Hill novel and the new Einstein bio on the table. I have been surprised by some of the revelations (presuming a level of accuaracy exists) regarding Israel and the Mossad's approach to relations with the US.
While I followed the Pollard fiasco at the time, I was unaware that Mossad shared this intelligence with the Russians allowing them to roll up some of our spy networks. (I was also unaware they recorded Clinton's phone calls to Lewinsky) Disappointed to learn they had the truck under surveillance that hit the Marine barracks in Lebanon but didn't warn us to "teach us a lesson." There are other explosive type revelations such as the alleged execution of media magnate Robert Maxwell.
