Whatever the answers to these questions, the Soviets clearly violated international law and custom by using excessive force on an unarmed civilian aircraft. "Of course they'll claim they warned the plane-who'll ever prove otherwise?" notes former CIA Official George Carver, now a fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies. "But let's not be diverted by fine legal minutiae. They had absolutely no right to commit murder." Experts in international law say the families and countries of victims may have valid claims for damages, but no one expects...
...effort to check Levy's challenge, Shamir warned his fellow Herut Cabinet members of the dangers that might result from a contentious floor fight at a party meeting. "Time is working against us," he argued. "Labor is standing in ambush in the corner."

Michels reportedly told fellow athletes that the technicians awed him by naming the date in April when he had last used steroids and by saying they could also pinpoint the exact dosage. The twelve athletes who fled before facing the test insist that they are not steroid users, but some said that they were...
...version of The Aeneid's first words ("Arma virumque cano") veers sharply away from the traditional reading in English, enshrined in the title of George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man. Yet singing of arms and the man was not all that Virgil's fellow Romans in the 1st century B.C. would have understood him to mean.
