Indeed, many Lebanese now believe that only the Syrians can bring a halt to the bloodshed. Prime Minister Rashid Karami late last week demanded "the deployment of Syrian observers in all of Beirut." With the U.S. no longer playing a leading role in trying to end the car nage, Syria has increasing influence over its neighbor, largely due to the 25,000 Syrian troops stationed mostly in the eastern part of Lebanon. President Hafez Assad sought to extend that influence last month when Lebanese Muslim leaders, meeting in Damascus, drew up a 16-point plan that would increase their political...
...true believer in the imperium of style. Those who had the divine spark got to ride through life on a silk cushion, inventing their own rules and then ignoring them, cutting the boorish infidels down with gay, rapier wit. Thus it is with the merrily amoral ménage in Design for Living, a triangle with some complex emotional geometry.

Margot Kidder turns up in Washington Square Park to play the Jeanne Moreau role in their lives, and in due course they establish their own -not ménage à trois-trilateral commission. Thereupon their lives are laid out in tedious, unedifying detail...
...latest to join the California wine rush is Piper-Heidsieck. Two weeks ago, the French firm announced a $6 million ménage à trois with Renfield Importers and Sonoma Vineyards that will create a sparkling son of Heidsieck to be called Piper Sonoma. It will sell for $10-$12 a bottle, vs. $17 or more for the company's Continental bubbly...
