The Israelis still hoped for an agreement shutting down those attacks and giving the Israeli army a freer hand against Hizballah. In return, as part of a peace treaty with Lebanon, Israel would be willing to discuss a pullout back inside Israel's borders if Hizballah were disarmed and no violence had occurred for some specified period...

Even before the tragedies of the early '90s, life had not been easy. Jess Galindo had been a busy trucker, carting rocket fuel from Gilroy, California, to Carson City, Nevada. When both his younger children pleaded for skating lessons, he provided them--and settled for a mobile home. Rudy and his mother Margaret, who used to push the living-room furniture aside so he could "skate" at home, still live there...
