...Lebanon to be part of "Greater Syria," a vague concept of territorial grandeur that thrives more in memory than in reality.

...Madrid, at a meeting of foreign ministers of the 35 states that had participated in the three-year Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Working sessions of the conference ended on Tuesday with an agreement that does no more than schedule a series of future conferences and bind the signatories to pledges about human rights, like the right to form free trade unions, that hardly anyone thinks can be enforced. Still, it once seemed an achievement of sorts to produce a document that both the U.S. and the Soviet Union were willing to sign, and the Spanish government...
