Given the virtual collapse of the Lebanese Army, that may be the best the U.S. can now hope for. The probable alternatives are endless civil war or some form of partition of Lebanon between Syrian, Israeli, Christian and Muslim areas. Indeed, if the May 17 agreement is formally broken, Israel may withdraw its forces seven miles from the Awali to the Zahrani River, establishing to the south a semipermanent "North Bank" Israeli administration of the type it runs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The one Lebanese outcome that seems almost impossible to imagine...
Last week's cave-in left a D-shaped crater about 60 ft. wide, 150 ft. long and between 10 and 30 ft. deep. Although apparently no radiation had leaked, 14 workers emerged with broken bones and lacerations. Craters from previous underground nuclear tests pock the desert floor elsewhere on the 1,350-sq.-mi. site. But officials said they had had no reason to expect such a result in the mesa because it is made up of hardened volcanic ash and granite.

But rules are made to be broken, and the new version of Preston Sturges' 1948 comedy, Unfaithfully Yours, scores a narrow but clean win over one's nostalgic sentiment for the old master's original. Director Howard Zieff has retained the classic farcical premise: a jealous husband (Dudley Moore) is erroneously convinced that his young wife (Nastassja Kinski) is cuckolding him and is maniacally determined to gain revenge. Sturges...
