...ways than one. The idea of meaningful change is easier to accept when it comes from someone with a relatively fresh face and a reputation for boldness and candor. Decades of familiarity with Arafat's role as both Jekyll and Hyde have bred if not contempt then at least deep suspicion. The effect of Arafat's trademarks -- the kaffiyeh, the pseudo uniform, the cultivated scruffiness, the holster (empty or otherwise) -- often hovers between the silly and the sinister. He is the sort of survivor who tends to give survival a bad name. His longevity has often seemed the consequence...
...psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. It is a frontal view of a woman's pubes, painted with vast enthusiasm: the symbolic climax, one might say, of the series of dark caverns Courbet painted in his native countryside, The Source of the Loue, 1864.

From there, Soviet ships could control access in or out of the Red Sea, a choke point of global importance. South Yemen refuses to accord the U.S.S.R. full base rights for its navy, and is rumored to restrict port calls by Soviet warships to twelve a year. But bunkering and repair services are always available...
...incinerator ash that had been loaded onto the ship in Philadelphia in September 1986. It was not until last October that the Pelicano brazenly dumped 4,000 lbs. of its unwanted cargo off a Haitian beach, then slipped back out to sea, trailing / fresh reports that it was illegally deep-sixing the rest of its noxious cargo. A month later, off Singapore, its captain announced that he had unloaded the ash in a country he refused to name...
