...prison life, and offered him a job as a researcher. On the fatal July morning, Abbott was breakfasting at the Bini-Bon with two young women and asked Adan if he could use the restroom. Adan replied that it was for employees only, and the two began a quarrel that they went outside to settle...
Wayne Larsen, who was walking past the Bini-Bon that morning, told the jury a different, and chilling, story of a quarrel between a "shorter figure" (Adan) and a "taller figure" (Abbott). Adan, he said, made what looked like "a conciliatory gesture," turned his back and walked away. Abbott flew after him, reached over his shoulder and stabbed with such "terrific velocity" that "the hair swung back on the taller figure's head." The sound of the knife thrust, said Larsen, "rings in my ears today." As Adan lay dying, Larsen said, the "taller figure" stood over...
...knowing whether he was north or south or blue or gray, and became a captain in a raiding force that was an adjunct to Stonewall Jackson's third cavalry, simply because he could make more money.

If anyone was seeking a showdown it was the government, he continued, adding: "We would like to hear their private conversations when they are talking about us secretly." Moreover, union leaders pointed out, the meeting had taken place just after the government had sent police...
That was the impression of Ronald Reagan's Middle East policy that one American Jewish leader drew from briefings of his colleagues by White House aides and State Department officials last week. The Administration might quarrel with portions of his description, but in spirit it was accurate enough. Seeking to balance conflicting pressure from Israelis, Arabs and European allies in the wake of winning Senate approval for the sale of AWACS radar planes to Saudi Arabia, the Administration found itself at odds with nearly everybody. Luck most certainly will be needed to avoid provoking even more anger...
