...paragraph halfway through its eight-page story, TIME said that a classified Appendix B to the report contained details of a sympathy call Sharon had made on the Gemayel family on Sept. 15, 1982, the day after Bashir's death. According to the magazine, the Defense Minister "reportedly discussed with the Gemayels the need for the Phalangists to take revenge." Sharon acknowledges that he met with the Gemayels but denies that the subject of revenge came up. He contends, moreover, that TIME'S account implies that he encouraged or instigated the massacre. Time Inc. maintains that the contested...
TIME Managing Editor Ray Cave firmly expressed his confidence in both Halevy and the disputed paragraph about Sharon. "I believe [the story] then and now," said Cave. Asked by Gould if he thought the Kahan commission had any reason to believe Sharon had anticipated the massacre, Cave said no. "I think if he had, it would have horrified him and he would have prevented it on the spot."

The first, an agreeable family anecdote about a secret kept from an old lady in a nursing home, could be told as a one-paragraph joke. But the third is a small marvel, a conventional short story that works, and the only one of the six whose vibrations resonate after the last page is turned. A boy sees his mother making love with his tutor. The child cannot prevent himself from telling the dreadful secret to his father. The narrator, who was the boy, relates...
...such a grossly erroneous statement. If we are representative of Native Americans nationwide, then why are there only eighteen of us out of 5600 people in the college? Yes, it would be nice if everyone's father, like that of Yvette D. Roubideaux '85 as described in the same paragraph, could be the first Indian lawyer for the state of South Dakota This, however, is not the case. Michael P. Tsosie and I expressly told Caron that we are a fortunate few who have had the economic and educational opportunities to bring us to Harvard. The majority of Native American...
