...terrorized and beaten if they speak out against Mugabe," says Harare taxi driver John Makatini. The MDC has applied to contest in court 37 of last year's electoral constituency results that went to Mugabe's zanu-pf. Four of the opposition party's political heavyweights, including the leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, are also due to appear in court on charges of incitement in calling for a popular movement to oust Mugabe, and the government has said it would seize passports of critics whose statements or actions harm Zimbabwe's image abroad. "It's all part of an evil program...
...expected guidelines. Yet the deal didn't need that advantage to make sense. "For something like this to work, each party has to have a good view of the strategies the other will pursue for the next five years," says Jacques de Balasy, who ran the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter banking team that advised Arbed.

He could have pocketed a lot more if he had just packaged himself somewhat differently. Bill Clinton Live at the Apollo could gross 10 times that with an extended run, not to mention the take he would get when HBO pieced together a one-hour special. It squeezed half an hour out of Margaret Cho material...
