"We have to rescue this history, " insists Xu Buzeng, 70-year-old doyen of Jewish scholars in Shanghai, who realized a lifelong dream last fall when he visited Israel on a fellowship to Hebrew University.
American Sport Baseball's dream summer saw records fall and legends born, while Denver Broncos won their first Super Bowl and Chicago Bulls won their sixth NBA Championship.
Other nights, he would fall asleep between his two gauchos and dream that his wife was leading their children by the hand and scolding him for the way he had let himself lapse into brutishness.
