Most Arab reaction was negative, abusive and even violent. Libya broke relations with Egypt and demanded its expulsion from the Arab League. Radio Baghdad called the trip a "Pan-Arab catastrophe" and Sadat himself a traitor. Saiqa, the Syrian-backed Palestinian group vowed to assassinate Sadat for committing "the ugliest treason" in Arab history. Syria declared a day of mourning and lowered flags to half-staff. In Lebanon, where Syrian peace-keeping troops have forbidden protest demonstrations, the ban was lifted during Sadat's trip...
...undertaker. The shmoos rolled over dead and oven ready for hungry hoomins. Hulking Hairless Joe and his faithful Indian sidekick, Lonesome Polecat, dispensed hair-curling batches of Kickapoo Joy Juice. Dogpatchers went calling on the snowbound citizens of Lower Slobbovia, home of Lena the Hyena, world's ugliest woman. Moonbeam McSwine wallowed happily in the mud and tried unsuccessfully to ensnare Abner with her buxom charms.

For once, Kyemba exonerates Amin: "I do not believe, as I first did, that Amin had a direct hand in Kay's death." Instead, he writes, she died during an abortion that was being performed by her lover, a doctor. Kyemba speculates that the doctor dismembered...
Unlike the regular district attorneys who handle suspects aged 16 and over, prosecutors in Family Court have no investigative staff to follow through in collecting evidence. Getting witnesses to cooperate is a major problem. One of the ugliest open cases at the moment involves a twelve-year-old boy accused of stabbing an adult. The child is a "chicken," or male prostitute, and his victim was a "chicken hawk," his homosexual customer. After being wounded in his own bathtub, the man called police and signed a complaint. Stitched up and calmed down, he now wants to forget the whole thing...
