That gloomy prospect was clearly in the minds of two roving envoys who landed in Salisbury the morning after the ballots were counted: Britain's Foreign Secretary, Dr. David Owen, and Washington's Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young. Their mission was to present Smith with a new Anglo-American proposal for a Rhodesian settlement-and from the beginning they had little hope that he would heed...
...this, however, presupposes that Smith will go along with the new proposals-and so far there is no indication that he will do so. One Whitehall official described the conclusion of the Owen-Young mission as "the end of a chapter, not the close of the book." Perhaps so. But to judge by the evidence last week, the close of the book on Rhodesia is likely to be both prolonged and bloody...
...Jews, says Los Angeles City Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky, "happened in ways outside anyone's control." Yet the fact is that Jerusalem did all that it could-as any government would-to promote the new man.

There was never any doubt that the Chinese would stick to their specific demands-that...
...version absolves the Sanhedrin and the Jewish crowds of their traditional role as villains and assigns it to the loutish Roman soldiers. The main instigator of the Crucifixion, however, turns out to be Lucifer. The Evil One mingles with the Jewish street crowds and accompanies Judas on his mission of betrayal. In one of the few lines with a parallel in both versions, Judas now says, "Oh what cursed gold I received, turning me into a traitor." The 19th century text goes, "Oh cursed money I received from you, the Jewish rot, the scum." Schwaighofer has also added other...
