...million Palestinian inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza. Haig suggested a deadline of next April 25 for completion of the autonomy talks, which are to resume later this month in Cairo. By April, if all goes well, Egypt will have got back all of the Sinai Peninsula, seized by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. Some U.S. officials fear that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat may lose interest in further talks with Israel once he has achieved that goal...
Certainly one cannot traverse this banal movie territory and arrive at the essence of the campaign that supplies this film with its title. Historically, Gallipoli was a tragic epic. On this obscure Turkish peninsula, an outpost of empire was required to sacrifice the best and bravest of a generation in an ill-conceived, almost whimsical attempt to break the stalemate in the trenches of Western Europe.

The result, say the critics, would be bias errors in the accuracy of warheads fired against...
...this blessed event was something very special. Flossie's offspring was not an ordinary black-and-white Holstein calf but a baby gaur (rhymes with flower), a rare type of wild ox that lives in the remote forests of South Asia from India and Nepal to the Malay Peninsula...
