WASHINGTON—President Bush issued an urgent call Monday for nations to join an international peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, and he pledged $230 million to help rebuild the war-ravaged country.

James Branch Cabell (April 14, 1879 - May 5, 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell's surname is often mispronounced "Ka-BELL", he himself pronounced it "CAB-ble". To remind an editor of the correct pronunciation, Cabell composed this rhyme: "Tell the rabble my name is Cabell."
