Tonight: Cease-Fire
Unarmed between two fighting armies, they sit like impotent umpires at a lethal tennis match-the men in the blue berets of the United Nations observer mission on the Suez Canal - reporting the daily breaches of the cease-fire, the bombardment and aerial attacks by both Israelis and Egyptians.
In Cyprus, on wind-swept mountain tops, in the cities and on the plains, a multi-national force of UN soldiers stands firm between the armies and keeps the peace between Turkish and Greek Cypriots.
From his Jerusalem headquarters General Odd Bull commutes between the warring capitals negotiating cease-fires when all else fails, and pleading for the safety of his neutral observers - the Irish, Swedes, Austrians, Finns, French, Argentinians and Chileans - whose front-line posts are frequently bombed, shelled or mortared.
How effective are these umpires who, in the name of us all, attempt to keep the peace? Jim Douglas Henry and a Man Alive film crew spent six weeks under fire observing a cease-fire that frequently isn't.

Being a father is in itself a defeating vicissitude. How could cruel fate add the further indignity of a daughter so superior in intellect that the wretched infant can, quite unforgivably, win every game of chess? Life is like that.
