California's foreign-born entrepreneurs include many Palestinians who have taken over grocery stores. Fuad Mogannam, 51, a Christian Palestinian from Ramallah, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, estimates that nearly half of San Francisco's 1,100 small groceries are run by his compatriots.

...most of the week, Prime Minister Wazzan remained in West Beirut and refused to travel to the presidential palace at Baabda because he was not prepared to cross Israeli lines. The President and his Foreign Minister, Fuad Butros, did not cross Israeli lines either. Like jet pilots dazzled by the beauty of their air strikes but insulated from the effects of their actions, the two remained in the hills above and beyond the fray. At one point, when Wazzan telephoned the President from West Beirut, he wryly asked Sarkis if he was suffering from the shortage of water and power...
