With the eight-week-old truce, imposed by an Arab peace-keeping force dominated by Syrians, restaurants have begun serving after dark for the first time in months, and nightclubs like the opulent Casino du Liban are jumping once more. Movie theaters reopened with a run of The Exorcist-which most Beirutis found tame compared with the all-too-real horrors they had experienced during the fighting...
...always there have been the multitudes ready for the opening kickoff. They include Americans in Europe who jet into Frankfurt to watch the game in German hotels that pirate the American Forces Network's signal.

Italy's current inflation rate is 18%, its internal deficit is estimated at $20 billion, and its foreign trade deficit has doubled in only a year, to $4.4 billion.
