...bond traders, that sounded like the crack of doom. They bid prices down so rapidly that the interest rate on long-term Treasury bonds rose to 7.1%, up 6.9% on the day and more than a point above the start of the year (bond prices and yields always move in opposite directions). Stock prices got dragged down too; the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 115 points, to a close...
That, after all, seems to be the point at the climactic moment of the film, when Carey hurtles down to almost sure doom onto a massive satellite dish which provides cable to all of southern California and knocks out TV to millions of viewers anxiously awaiting the verdict...
...refined beat of her music, which--young fans in Italy to the contrary--was less straight jazz than pop on an elegant upswing. There is no doubt that Billie Holiday had a darker genius.

I believe that with the establishment of a Palestinian state, tactical cooperation between the P.L.O. and Hamas--their fight-and-talk strategy, similar to what the Vietnamese did with the U.S.--will break down, and you'll have a civil war between the Palestinians and Hamas, a Lebanonization of Palestine. The Syrians would use this kind of unrest and violence as an excuse to move in, as they did in Lebanon...
