Israel
We all know what happened Saturday. Or we think we know. Gaza fired what it said were 5,000 rockets at civilian targets in Israel.

Sex has three big payoffs. • Payoff number one. The male-female combo is a way of tapping into the power of what game theorists call “mixed strategies.” Males are gambles on wild exploration. Exploration so dangerous that less than one in a million sperm strike home. Females are bets on the safe, the tried and
