Said's last word

Where can I find Edward Said's last position vis-a-vis a one-state/two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict? I'm ONLY interested in links to articles he wrote on the topic between 2002 and 2003 so please spare me personal opinions and/or summaries of his ideas.

Name that scary story for young adults

I'm looking for a young adult collection of ghost/scary stories I read in middle school (1980s). It was illustrated by Edward Gorey and contained a story about a young girl who discovers a creature of some sort living in a quarry near her home. She becomes obsessed/infatuated with the thing and frequently visits it. I remember strong sexual undertones in this story. I'm looking for the collection itself but would also be interested in knowing the title of that story in particular.

Print/poster of Edward Wadsworth's Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool?

This morning I saw the Boing-Boing post on WWI "Razzle-Dazzle" ship camo and became completely enamored by Edward Wadsworth's mesmerizing 1919 Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool oil on canvas painting. I'd love to have a large print or poster of it. So far my cursory Google searches have turned up nothing besides info on razzle camo and the painting's influence on OMD's Dazzle Ships CD title and cover 1,2. Where can I find a nice reproduction to put in a frame?
