Up to that point, Yale had shown no interest in religion and Goshorn had rarely talked about his faith within the company.

Karami hastily put together a "National Reconciliation...
...mortar rounds, apparently fired on aim less trajectories from undisclosed positions, hit a street in one of Beirut's Moslem quarters where harried housewives had queued up to buy bread; 24 were killed and 40 wounded. A rocket round elsewhere took the lives of five young children. Christians were appalled when they heard of a Moslem attack on a Christian village in the north of Lebanon; at least 15 people were massacred and 40 houses destroyed...
