We come into the city by air - a long, sweeping glide over the coast, southward across half-demolished buildings, over the camps at Sabra and Shatila where thousands of Palestinians live in scrap metal hovels. Perhaps 2,000 Palestinians died here two years ago, during the darkest time of the 3,600-day old civil war. Our Boeing 707 bumps gently onto the ground and taxis to a remote tarmac. A soft, cold rain falls as we board buses to the terminal. Customs takes an hour and as we drive back into the city, a feeling of apprehension grows stronger than ever. Past the graveyard at Sabra and Shatila, past the cratered sports' stadium, past a hundred buildings that were neither occupied nor safe. Past the rolls of barbed wire at the Kuwait Embassy, past the iron rails welded into tank barricades - look- ing like a giant child's jacks tossed at the edge of the coastal road. Into the thread- ing, winding, tiny streets jammed with parked cars. Is a bomb in one oj them? Past a Kentucky Fried Chicken sign with the universal Colonel smiling down over Arabic subtitles. Finally we arrive at the Commodore Hotel. The Commodore is not one of the world's great lodgings. In happier times, it wouldn't be my first choice, and probably not my second either. But in 10 years of war, the Commodore has become home to foreign journalists - a safe haven, watering hole, bedroom, bath and mess- age center. Even in the worst of times, the Commodore has been constant amid the chaos. I am followmg in the footsteps of the Pulitzer Prize winners.
