Eli Khamarov - b. 1948 (This is a test effort. The text is copyrighted. This will not be the final version of the text I use.)
The only son of a Russian father and German mother, Eli Khamarov was born in England in 1948. His family later ventured to Israel, where he "mis-spent" his youth. Becoming disillusioned with the political climate and politicians "whose noses flared at the smell of gunpowder," as expressed by Victor Ostrovsky, a former MOSSAD agent, a then older and wiser Khamarov moved to a quiet life on the coast of Maine, near Ogunquit. Having "observed life more than living it", Khamarov is putting his thoughts and observations to paper. (From the cover jacket of Khamarov's book, Surviving on Planet Reebok)
