The 90s have seen negotiation about the great issues of the day as enemies realize that there is something to be gained by talking things through and searching for a solution. In Israel and Northern Ireland, opposing camps have at least opened up a dialogue, creating the possibility of finding long term solutions. But the boxers versus briefs conflict seems to be one of perpetual mutual hatred, with both sides determined to show no signs of weakness...
