...notion of putting both American and German trenches in the orchestra pit clicks, even if the scenes involving the doomed soldiers are mostly awkward and extraneous. There is one nice a capella number for the soldier boys, and an almost-touching dream sequence in which a temporary truce allows the opposite sides to get to know each other. All in all, King of Hearts comes off as an extremely slick production, calculatingly geared for success...
Carter will offer direct U.S. guarantees only reluctantly?and, preferably at the end of the bargaining process, in order to conclude a deal. He is in no rush to dispatch G.I.s to patrol a truce, a step that has no certainty of congressional backing.

A tenuous truce brought a measure of calm to the country, where clashes two weeks ago between Syrian peace-keeping forces and Christian militiamen left 200 dead, most of them civilians. Both sides used the lull to bring heavy reinforcements into Beirut. Israel continued to supply military equipment to the rightist Christian armies of Pierre Gemayel and Camille Chamoun, who have been engaged in a bloodletting feud with forces loyal to former Lebanese...
