You need a “fixer”, or you’ve got 2 free hours & want to see the ‘hot spots’ in Jerusalem….  You’re on deadline, and you need a quote, a photo, a quick interview or a little background – but lost that note with the guy’s number….  You need to get to Bethlehem or Sderot – but your car’s in the shop….  You just need a quiet place to log on and file the story – but your Internet connection's dead….
