...heart of Sharon's suit is a paragraph in the TIME story that described a condolence call that Sharon paid to the Gemayel family the day after Bashir's death. According to the passage, a classified appendix to the report contained information about the visit. TIME went on to say that Sharon "reportedly discussed with the Gemayels the need for the Phalangists to take revenge" for Bashir's assassination, but added that "the details of the conversation are not known...
Sharon, who resigned his Defense post two days after the release of the report, says that he did meet with the Gemayel family. But he denies that they discussed revenge. He contends, moreover, that the secret appendix, which remains classified, does not say he talked about revenge with the Gemayels.

After playing host to as many as 5,000 U.S. servicemen and conducting joint military exercises with the U.S. almost continuously over the past 18 months, Honduras...
...report cases of sick children who are denied medical care. Certainly that was the case last September when C.D. Long and his wife Judy of Summerville, Ga., were charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of their 16-year-old foster son. The boy died of a ruptured appendix after days of agony; during that period the parents, both members of the Union Assembly, had not sought medical help. But neighbors of the Longs in the close-knit northwestern Georgia community were reluctant to testify, and in February a state judge dismissed the case. The dead boy's aunt...
