THE ISRAELI president in my note about that soulful dog alerting the authorities in Washington to the sacrilegious Dead Sea Scroll was not the recently-elected Ezer Weizman who takes office later this month, my source tells me, but the current president, Chaim Herzog. And it seems I didn't give the dog sufficient credit: the scroll was not the 'Son of God' text, but the even more blasphemous 'Pierced Messiah' fragment.
