Book Preview: #1 The Cojots were waiting in line to check in at Ben-Gurion Airport's Terminal 1, which had replaced the original whitewashed terminal built by the British in the 1930s. The flow of people reminded Michel Cojot of an Oriental bazaar. #2 Air France Flight 139 was one of the recently introduced Airbus A300B4s, a comfortable twin-engined jetliner capable of carrying 272 passengers in a two-class layout. Only 228 seats were occupied. #3 The author's father was a high-achieving man who tried to educate his son even when they were on vacation. The only bleak spot for the thirty-seven-year-old Cojot was the proximity of unruly neighbors, who included brawling brats, a woman who spilled over her seat on both sides, and a couple of retired Americans. #4 On the plane, there were fifty-six new passengers, bringing the total to 246. The majority were still nationals of Israel and France, but more than twenty other nationalities were now present
