That's when Arafat decided to marshal his Tanzim forces--maybe 2,000 street enforcers armed with automatic weapons and more or less loyal to his Fatah wing of the hydra-headed Palestinian cause--to prepare for an appropriate opportunity. Arafat, the Tanzim bosses say, explicitly warned them that clashes would come because Israel "wanted" to spark violence. It is tough to draw a solid line between Arafat's meetings and last week's violence. The Tanzim, to be sure, has its own agenda...
...explain this rather incongruous statement. Had the Mariners been victorious, the series would have gone to game seven, and "West Wing" would have been unceremoniously bumped from the Wednesday lineup; hence, go Yanks. And the debates denied loyal viewers their season premiere follow-up last week; hence I was interested in this week's debates primarily to see whether...
...second attempt on Wednesday to crack the miners brought the revolt to ignition point when the three old men bulldozed aside the barricade. A few police swung their batons at the flood of protesters, but they had no hope--and no stomach to do much more.

The promo literature on the Corrs still makes much of the Celtic streak in their tunes, but that has been steamrolled over by a synthetic, processed sound. And, believe me, this is pop with...
...opposition coalition would fracture in the heat of violent confrontation that threatens to turn into a civil war. Or that its loose knit alliance would be no match organizationally for Milosevic's security forces in a national battle for power. But that depends on the security forces remaining loyal. To hold on to power in the face of an insurrectional challenge, Milosevic would need his security forces to use violence against demonstrators - and there were plenty of signs in the Belgrade Thursday that troops won?t kill fellow Serbs to keep Milosevic in power. The showdown has also made...
