On July 14, he had declared that Egypt would not establish diplomatic relations with Jerusalem for at least five years after a peace treaty was signed.

Smith's plan has been rejected by the leaders of the radical Patriotic Front, guerrillas who have been waging an increasingly costly war against the Salisbury regime. Charging that the elections will be rigged...
...inhabits a body of flesh and bone. In fact the Mormon God was once a man himself, and Mormon men can hope to become gods themselves in the afterlife.
