Her knees bounced up and down like runaway jackhammers. She jumped from her bench as if kicked by a mule, grimaced like an ulcer case on the way out, writhed like a belly dancer, sucked her thumb, tugged at her bra, groaned. Sometimes she struck some keys with her elbow, but she never missed a note, and her hands pounded away with incredible precision. Dorothy Donegan. 32, was giving...

Half-jokingly, Jumblatt told U.N. officers that where he formerly got a mule train of supplies every night, a caravan now arrived only every second or third night "because of you people." By contrast, the government's forces had plenty of arms, and last week U.S. Ambassador Robert McClintock announced that additional U.S. shipments were...
