After the colt has rested for a few moments, but before he can "start making plans," Ray drapes the rope over the sorrel's tail and rump, under his belly, between his legs. "He's not afraid of his mane and tail," Ray says with a grin. "He was born with them. But he's not sure about me or this rope. It's natural for him to protect himself.

...meeting of the various Lebanese factions is scheduled to take up that issue this week in Lausanne, Switzerland. As a prelude to the conference, the rump government of Lebanese President Amin Gemayel last week did the expected by formally canceling its May 17 security agreement with Israel. But Gemayel's Druze and Muslim opponents in Lebanon will be asking for far more than that in Lausanne. They intend to demand a fundamental restructuring of the Christian-dominated power-sharing arrangement on which Lebanese politics have been based since...
