...Makutinovich's men go on preparing for a showdown. Some train in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts while others nap in cots, their black berets hanging from posts at their feet. They call each other by nicknames drawn from American action and horror movies: Rambo, Ninja, Krueger. Lieut. Vitali Belkin, commander of one of the five squads that make up the 150-strong unit, says the struggle with the Lithuanian government has already passed the point of compromise. "I don't doubt there will be bloodshed," he says. "Civil war is inevitable...
...Rubino, "has been the greatest get-out-of-jail card ever." Rubino estimates that the government cut as many as 70 special deals to get testimony against the general. Tony Aizprua, the pilot whose plane landed on I-75, served no time at all, while Noriega's trusted bagman Lieut. Colonel Luis del Cid got his 70-year sentence reduced to a 10-year maximum.

Confronting Khalid and Ali, the Palestinians who had kept the place running during the seven-month occupation, Rida calmly issued a terrifying order. "We will be back tomorrow," he said. "You will produce the women you have hidden. We will have a last party. if you do not provide, you will...
...MIAs still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia are alive. Officials are reluctant to say that publicly because it might make them seem unresponsive to the anguish of families still uncertain about the fate of their loved ones -- and because they just might be wrong. An unreleased 1986 report by Lieut. General Eugene Tighe, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), concluded that some MIAs could be alive...
