...Turkey, Gart and Arafat were joined by assistant managing editor Karsten Prager, who also had interviewed Arafat repeatedly while serving as TIME's Middle East bureau chief in the mid-1970s. "Arafat hasn't changed much," says Prager, "despite some bitter years since then. He has an amazing ability to bounce back from defeat and make himself essential to the Palestinian cause." Still eager to talk, Arafat later bumped an aide and a bodyguard from the return flight to Baghdad -- again with the Turkish air force escorting -- to make room for Prager, Gart and photographer Thomas Hartwell.

...sweet it is to have just one such moment in life. How bitter to have it early, and then be forced to rerun it ad nauseam, until the triumph turns into sitcom. Bitter for Gavin, for the luminous Babs, for their bookworm nephew Donnie (Timothy Hutton) and their lumbering pal Lawrence (John Goodman).

With Wilson's funds starting to dwindle, the race could turn into a bitter publicity battle over the next two weeks. Any misstep by Wilson could make the race a toss...
...leadership vacuum coincided with bitter ethnic tensions in the autonomous province of Kosovo. Though the province is part of the Serbian republic, Albanians account for at least 77% of its 1.9 million inhabitants, a proportion that continues to increase. Fears of Albanian irredentism and tales of rape and murder of Serbs in Kosovo by Albanians stirred many of Yugoslavia's 8 million Serbs to demand a crackdown on Kosovo and tough leadership to implement it. The man and the hour met in 1986 when Slobodan Milosevic rose to power in the Serbian Communist Party and soon stirred up a wave...
