Haddad has run his territory like a personal fiefdom. His radio station, the Voice of Hope, financed largely by right-wing American Christians, broadcasts to a wide area in English, Arabic and even Russian. Usually wearing green fatigues and carrying a 9-mm Beretta pistol slung from his belt, Haddad operates from his heavily guarded home in the village of Marjayoun. In an interview with TIME Correspondents Marsh Clark and David Halevy last week, Haddad insisted that he was the only person who could guarantee peace in the region.

At the base of a tree, wrapped in a green plastic garbage bag, were eight rolls of undeveloped 35-mm film containing photographs of classified American documents.

It was conceived, created and hustled into the world's film markets by a cooperative of Oxonians in the same age bracket, 20 to 27, as the students they have conspired to place on the screen. The chief difference...
...soap factory vowed to work double shifts for one week in honor of Marx and "in defense of the revolution." In China, a zealous textile worker went to the trouble of engraving the entire text of the Communist Manifesto (about 20,000 Chinese characters) onto an ivory block 15 mm by 15 mm by 50 mm. It was an odd way to honor the man who had urged the workers of the world to shake off their chains...
