...destroyed a Tibetan TV transmission van, and rioters, shouting "Smash everything that belongs to the Communist Party and the Chinese!" overturned other vehicles. Fighting worsened after police and paramilitary forces stormed the temple, Tibet's holiest shrine. When calm was restored some twelve hours later, at least eight were dead...
Simple as it is, the arithmetic is also dead wrong. When the epidemic first got under way, there were few cases of AIDS and the virus was spreading among a largely uninfected gay population; thus the ratio of carriers to cases was high, explains James Curran, director of the AIDS program at the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.

...disposition of territories within nine months, it would stall for at least three more years. Last week the Palestine Liberation Organization foolishly played into Shamir's stonewalling strategy by hijacking a bus carrying civilians in Israel. The terrorist incident, which left three Israelis and all three guerrillas dead, bolstered Shamir's position that Israel should not enter into negotiations that might include the P.L.O...
