...That initial level of success means that the current task is becoming more difficult. Now, the Israelis are hunting for rocket launchers small enough to fit in the back of a pickup truck or that can be fired from an apartment balcony. "It's like a match. They can only use their rockets once before we strike them," the colonel says...
...first trip to Lebanon. Beirut's international airport was bombed on the day she arrived. She was visiting with her uncle's family, in an apartment close to some of the heaviest bombing.

As Rusty remembers it, he and her brother Brian had to drag her into a truck, and at Devereux's parking lot they had to drag her out. Andrea then refused to sign forms admitting herself to Devereux, leading her attending psychiatrist Mohammed Saeed and the staff to prepare letters asking a Texas judge to confine her to the Austin State Hospital because, they said, her condition...
