...wake of the feminist movement, some men are beginning to pipe up. In the intimacy of locker rooms and the glare of large men's groups, they are spilling their bile at the incessant criticism, much of it justified, from women about their inadequacies as husbands, lovers, fathers. They are airing their frustration with the limited roles they face today, compared with the multiple options that women seem to have won.

...plan calls for the four armies to be corralled into "cantonment areas," where their weapons would be stored under "U.N. supervision." Experience with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong during the Vietnam War and with the Khmer Rouge over the past 20 years suggests that this is a pipe dream. There are reports that the Khmer Rouge is already developing jungle caches of weapons and personnel in anticipation of a possible cease-fire...
