...paragraph halfway through its eight-page story, TIME said that a classified Appendix B to the report contained details of a sympathy call Sharon had made on the Gemayel family on Sept. 15, 1982, the day after Bashir's death. According to the magazine, the Defense Minister "reportedly discussed with the Gemayels the need for the Phalangists to take revenge."

...dismiss the case, Time Inc.'s attorneys invoked the act of state doctrine, which holds that a U.S. court is not the proper place to debate the actions of a foreign government. They added that the refusal of the Israeli government to release key documents, including the disputed appendix, made a fair trial impossible. U.S. District Court Judge Abraham Sofaer denied Time Inc.'s motion. He ruled, however, that one of Sharon's claims, that TIME has a "vicious bias" against Jews or Israel, "is so unsubstantiated that no evidence will be allowed...
