...enduring peace, with all foreign occupiers removed from Lebanon, seemed no closer. Syrians, Palestinians and Israelis now find their interests so en tangled in the country's political quagmire that some parties to the negotiations despair of finding a solution. The best out come, says a Western diplomat, might be a gradual dissipation of the situation, with no grand settlement that would define winners and losers.

Palestinian and Lebanese Muslim fighting men remained at their guard posts, as a few stray civilians removed possessions from bombed-out apartments. Near the en trance to the Shatila refugee camp, children splashed in a pool created a few days earlier when a bomb dug deep into the earth and struck a water main...
...Salvador [June 14] is a thinly veiled attempt by the left to take away a fairly won victory. Disappointed by the rejection of their twisted Marxist liberation theology, the religious left has now resorted to charges of fraud in an election in which the people turned out en masse to say no to the violent minority. El Salvador's was a truly democratic election...
