Middle-class matrons shop for imported furniture in a marble-and-glass emporium. "Transformers" is playing in a new movie house. Teens bop to a Danish hip-hop band performing on their high school basketball court. Life in the West Bank _ in sharp contrast to beaten down, Hamas-ruled Gaza _ has taken on a semblance of normalcy.
