...chief military deputy, Abu Jihad, an emergency meeting in Damascus of Fatah's 73-member Revolutionary Council failed to resolve the crisis. Though the rebel leaders insisted that they were not trying to topple Arafat, they demanded several reforms, including an end to Arafat's "singular rule." They also proposed that an emergency committee be formed to take over Fatah's leadership until a general congress could be held.

...porn tapes, the next she is trying to catch falling snowflakes on her tongue. Michael Leeson, who wrote scripts for the TV series Taxi, uses that show's mixture of urban gallantry and paranoia in his first feature.

...Penn is not a community--it's a resource center. It's a focused singular environment where people come in and take what they want, and then they leave," Cooper says, adding that if students can find their own niche--she points to the increasing popularity of the college houses and Penn's 30 fraternities and sororities as examples of students seeking a sense of community--"Penn gets smaller, and better...

...simply smuggle their money out. "Just walk with your head high and the bills stuffed in your pockets. The customs agents won't think to look there." Although Frenchmen can usually be counted upon to find ways around restrictions, the latest curbs were not a joke but a singular admission that the Socialist government's economic program was failing...
