NEW STUDY FINDS REMOTE PRAYER HAS NO HEALING POWER
Dr. Charles Bethea, Chief Medical Officer of Integris Medical Center in Oklahoma City, and Father Dean Marek, director of chaplain services at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota about this new study.
ISRAEL SETTLEMENTS
Larry Mantle talks with author Gershom Gorenberg about his new book The Accidental Empire: Israel and the Birth of the Settlements, 1967-1977. Gorenberg’s book provides a masterly and gripping account of the strange birth of the settler movement, which was the child of Labor Party socialism and religions extremism. As he opens a window on the hidden history of the settlements, Gorenberg tells the story of the first Israeli settler in occupied territory, who arrived just five weeks after the Six-Day War ended.
