Former Israeli defense minister wants job back to crush revolt
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Former Gen. Ariel Sharon, who was forced out as defense minister in 1883 after the massacre of Palestinians in Lebanon, said yesterday he wanted the job back and would crush the revolt in the occupied lands if he not it back.
Sharon, a hero of the 1973 ArabIsraeli war, was touring an outdoor market when he expressed his desire to regain his old post. The area is a stronghold of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's conservative Likud bloc, for which Sharon is a candidate in the Nov. 1

Lying OK, North says Prosecutors shocked by former aide's claims
Walsh said he did not oppose a defense motion to dismiss a charge that North obstructed an FBI investigation into the construction of a $13,800 security fence outside his suburban Virginia home.
Independent counsel Lawrence E. Walsh, meanwhile,

North is accused of preparing false documents in December 1986 to hide the fact that arms dealer Richard V. Second paid for the fence. North, who claims he was charged with torturing and also accused of illegally accepting the fence as a gratuity.
The defense contended that the alleged fabrication was not an obstruction of justice because the grand jury did not believe the evidence.
But the prosecution offered a spirted defense of charges that North made false statements to congressional committees to obstruct inquiries into reports that he was covered helping raise money to arm the contras.
