...aptly epitomized the chaos of Lebanon for Americans last week as the fate of the body of the young man, said by the hijackers to be a U.S. Marine, who had been murdered on Flight 847. After lying on the tarmac for two hours, the body, with a bullet wound in the head, had been taken by an International Red Cross ambulance to a morgue at the American University Hospital in Muslim West Beirut. U.S. officials, based on the other side of the "green line" in Christian-dominated East Beirut, were unable to retrieve it for 24 hours. Not until...
Welcome to the bullet-scarred land of morning television, the breakfast firing range where the three networks snap, crackle and pop for rating points.

...charge that the killing was a cold-blooded act that had nothing to do with mercy. Said one observer: "He didn't cry, didn't pour out his feelings in soap-opera fashion." The jurors also seemed to be affected adversely by Gilbert's decision to put two bullets into his wife. "We gave him charity on the first shot," said Juror Rosalyn Brodsky. "He was upset and overcome psychologically. But it was the second bullet that did it. That was premeditated." Added Juror Susan Mason: "The law does not allow for sympathy. We had to do it."
