Jurors in Ariel Sharon’s $50-million libel suit...

Jurors in Ariel Sharon’s $50-million libel suit in New York against Time magazine recessed for the night after reviewing testimony about meetings that the former Israeli defense minister had with Christian Falangists on the eve of a massacre of Palestinian refugees. The six-member jury has ruled on the first of a three-part verdict, finding that Sharon was defamed by a paragraph in a Time cover story on a massacre of Palestinian civilians in Beirut by the Falangists in 1982.
