-- Louis Farrakhan has invited Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield to make up at the National Day of Atonement, as proclaimed by the Nation of Islam on October 13 in Washington. "We envision both of the men coming tog ether to publicly atone," Antonn Muhammad, the event's producer, told the New York Daily News. "It's the issue of Christianity and Islam coming together in an era of black-on-black violence."
-- Is there a future for Dodi and Di, products of different cultures?
"My only concern is that this Dodi is a foreigner," Dame Barbara Cartland, Princess Diana's step-grandmother, said last week. An essayist in the London Daily Mail agreed, opining that Diana may be "trading in one prison, the lifestyle of the royal family, for an Arab one."
Arab journalist Fuad Nahdi exulted in the match. "You might hate and abuse us on the high streets and in alleyways," he wrote in the Independent, "but our boys are cruising off with your biggest catches on the high seas."
And Adnan Khashoggi, uncle of Dodi Fayed, seemed equally pleased. "We welcome Diana into our family," he told a Saudi newspaper.
