InterAct's "House Divided' (3rd review)
House Divided is a well-crafted play about a Jewish-American family that has broken apart over religion, politics and the Jewish state. This is a rich area for exploration. I just wish it flowed more naturally.

The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the 20th Century. By Alex Ross. 640 pages. Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2007. $30.00.
