    Short-Term Fixes Sought in Mideast

    MARRAKESH, Morocco — For the last seven months, the Obama administration has labored in vain to bring the Israelis and the Palestinians together, pushing for a loose quid pro quo under which Israel would freeze construction of Jewish settlements while its Arab neighbors undertook diplomatic steps to bolster Israel’s confidence in its security.

    Missouri: Pilot Sentenced in Theft

    A Canadian man has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for stealing a plane in Canada and flying over three states before landing along a dark highway in southern Missouri. The man, Adam D. Leon, 31, had admitted in August to the charges he had faced: interstate transportation of a stolen aircraft, importation of a stolen aircraft and illegal entry. He admitted that on April 6, he stole a four-seat Cessna 172 from his Thunder Bay, Ontario, flight school and crossed the United States border.
