...Norwegian doctors, who had been working near a refugee camp in Sidon and were briefly taken prisoner by the Israelis, accused their captors of brutally maltreating the Palestinians. According to a BBC report, the Norwegians claimed that Israeli soldiers beat some Palestinian prisoners with clubs or lengths of rubber, kicked others unconscious and killed at least ten men before their eyes. Reflecting on such scenes, a Western ambassador in Beirut remarked sadly: "I ask myself what has happened to those Jews who were filled with spirit and light, who gave us hope and inspiration. Have they all gone? I come...
...said a student. "We went to war with our hearts full, and now they are empty." Said an airplane mechanic: "We have been cheated, and our young conscripts have died for nothing." Finally riot police armed with shotguns and tear-gas launchers moved in on the crowd, firing rubber bullets and canisters of the eye-stinging gas. The mob scattered, setting fire to garbage cans and vehicles on side streets. The unrest continued for several hours. Galtieri never did come out on the balcony.

Ashore, all was chaos as casualties were brought to a makeshift field hospital and then flown by a continuous helicopter shuttle to the main British medical center at San Carlos Bay. Said an army doctor at Fitzroy: "I've seen some pretty...
...final fight, the traditional climax of the Rocky epics, exceeds all earlier matches. Rocky gives and takes blows surrealistically enhanced by Dolby sound. Lang lashes back, growling and gnashing through his rubber mouthpiece. The experience is the nearest thing to being in a seat in Caesars Palace this Friday night that a moviegoer is likely to find. Indeed, the physical damage in the screen version surpasses that of many real bouts...
