Meanwhile, within weeks of the peace deal's signing, rebel soldiers from another faction kidnapped 30 U.N. officials, journalists and peacekeepers and more than 200 women and children. All were eventually released, but kidnappings and rapes by various rebel groups and occasional clashes with U.N. soldiers have continued ever since...
...host of African leaders to intercede with Sankoh and called for the deployment of a rapid-reaction force to bolster the 8,400 U.N. troops already there. None of the countries capable of sending one were willing; Britain and the U.S. ruled out their own forces. The mercurial rebel chief variously denied that his men were holding anyone, suggested the U.N. soldiers "may have got lost in the bush" and claimed U.N. peacekeepers were forcibly and illegally disarming R.U.F. fighters. U.N. officials say they have proof that Sankoh has been sending orders to field units to launch the attacks...
...Security Council delegation met with Democratic Republic of Congo President Laurent Kabila in Kinshasa to sign the agreement to send 5,000 U.N. troops to monitor a tottering peace deal there.

...fact, this theme of minor elements succeeding while major aspects fail becomes the model for Hamlet. In one characteristic self-berating monologue, Hawke scrutinizes James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, asking, "What would he do?"-something which nicely crystallizes Hamlet's vacillation. Hamlet screaming at Gertrude to "Leave wringing of your hands" as she dives for a telephone, and placing a recording wire on Ophelia so Polonius can eavesdrop on her conversation with Hamlet are all commendable directorial choices, but the work becomes spoiled with major misinterpretation. As the play was origianlly written, Hamlet chooses not to kill Claudius...
