Its 16-in. guns, which had rained devastation on Druze strongholds in the Chouf Mountains the week before, were silent now, unable to do anything about the rapidly deteriorating situation on shore.

"I wouldn't tell you if it was true," stonewalled Reynolds, as he tried to fend off a barrage of questions about his relationships with Shore and Actress Sally Field, 37, who also happened to be in town. Reynolds was eventually pulled to safety by Nancy Reagan, 62, who teasingly told...
