Beirut, slowly, is coming back to life. It is a remarkable feat, considering what the city has endured. For most of the summer Beirut was a bloody battleground for Israeli troops and Palestinian guerrillas. By the time both sides finally withdrew, there was no euphoria, only relief that it was over. No one knows how badly Beirut was damaged, but one Lebanese businessman places the cost of rebuilding the city at more than $10 billion.

Sony Corp. of Japan is planning to sell an all-electronic camera, the Mavica, that also displays images on TV screens. Kodak's products will probably have the market advantage of lower cost. Sony's Mavica is expected to retail for $650, and a shutterbug will have to spend an additional $220 for a viewing device. On the other hand, industry analysts expect that a complete Kodak package of Disc...
