Which Way, L.A.?
Understanding the Terrorist Who Tried to Kill Your Wife In October, we spoke with David Harris-Gershon, whose wife, Jamie, was almost killed by a Palestinian bomber several years ago in Jerusalem. Others were killed. When the bomber was tried, neither Jamie nor David wanted to go to the courtroom. But after they'd moved back to the US and had two children, David was still haunted by the event. The result is the book What Do You Buy the Children of the Terrorist Who Tried to Kill Your Wife?
