We're anticipating that the renewal of South Bethlehem will be huge.

We came from Bethlehem, Georgia bearing Betty Crocker cake mixes into the jungle.

One of the factors here is what role Yasser Arafat will play. From some of the statements that he has been making immediately, he doesn't seem to be trying to move the Bethlehem situation to a smooth and quiet resolution.

Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning, and you find out that those other days are gone... All you have is memories of happiness, lingering on... All your friends and your lovers won't protect you; they're only passing through you in the end... They'll leave you stripped of all that you can get to and wait for you to come back again...
