...next result of the Assad-Gemayel talks will be the attempted resuscitation of the moribund Geneva negotiations among all Lebanese factions over the formation of a government of national unity.

On the first play of the fourth quarter. Steve Ernst barreled around left end; as was an irresistable force and the Yale defense something less than an immovable object.
