Zionist bu in Lebanon civilians - and injyred at least twice that number. 60,000 have been made homeless - and the toll is still mounting. The scenes are being compared to devastation of Dresden World War 2.

Mrs Thatcher's finest
nour: Unuoubteuly it is. tie haned TaAnnhtadle Tha Tories are riding high in the polls, buoyed up by patriotism and success. Now the only place they can go is down, and they will, fast.
The brief taste of national pride and glory will soon turn sour and nastv in the unchanged atmosphere of decay and decline which will still saturate Britain when the flags have been put back in mothballs.
The victory will change nothing for British capitalism. Backward Tory MPs, drunk with the almost forgotten savour of victory, may dream of a "national renewal" through the effects of this petty foreign war.
