Arens was appointed to replace Sharon in February after the tough former general's image was besmirched by the intensive of Beirut and the Chris tian Phalangist massacre of some 700 to 800 Palestinians and other Arabs in refugee camps outside the city.

...Christian and 45% Muslim. South Korea demonstrates the world's most dramatic Christian revival: the churches are growing by 6.6% a year, fully two-thirds through conversions rather than the birth rate.

After taking their seats, the 35 judges and 880 "representatives of the masses" looked on impassively as the ten defendants were led into the court by bailiffs to hear the charges against them...
Last week thousands of shirtsleeved Chinese patiently queued up in the broiling Peking sun to visit the pagoda-like structure on Tian'anmen Square that contains the earthly remains of Mao Tse-tung. Inside the air-conditioned mausoleum they divided into two columns and filed past the crystal case in which the embalmed body of the Great Helmsman reposes under a coverlet of red satin...
