Springs are most often made from either metal or plastic; the choice depends on the intended application and environment. The majority are made from spring steel, which is a cold-drawn carbon steel alloy. Springs made from copper alloys like phosphorus bronze and beryllium copper provide high electrical and thermal conductivity. Plastic springs may seem impractical, but they’re quite useful in sensitive applications like food processing and x-ray equipment that call for non-metallic mechanisms made from inert materials.

Anyway, here’s Alvin in his IDF submariner’s cap. In his younger days he served in a combat unit on dry land, while since then each of his three sons has also been at the risky edge—one in the elite Egoz (“Hard Nut”) unit, another in Golani, the youngest now in submarines reported in the foreign press to carry nuclear missiles.

The submariner’s cap sits on his head indoors and out except Thursday nights when he meets for poker with a quartet of ex-American right-wingers. For that he dons, in a spirit of irony, a MAGA cap. Trump! What a man! Although who knows—unlike Russell, who believes the reality TV star the Americans chose to be their face and voice to the world is a pyromaniac, Alvin who worked for decades in journalism hopes for, and can even imagine, something good coming of Trump’s acknowledging that Israel’s capital is in Jerusalem.

» Mechanical problems frequently recur on the same aircraft. In several instances, the same type of failure caused in-flight emergencies or aborted flights on the same aircraft within a few days or weeks. “I’m becoming increasingly concerned with safety as this malfunction happens more frequently,” wrote the pilot of a jet in February 2017 after the aircraft’s radios failed on approach to Lincoln Airport.
