Some of the victims were never reported missing, and others were dead and buried for more than two years before police uncovered their remains. The result is less normal police work than what Lieut. Dan Nolan, a police task- force commander, calls forensic archaeology. Investigators have made computerized topographical maps of sites where a body was discovered, combed each area with tweezers, and sifted through tons of dirt for bits of evidence as tiny as a fingernail. The police have even scanned bird nests on the off chance that they might contain a telltale stray fiber...
...Lieut. Colonel Oliver North spent nearly three years coordinating arms purchases and helping to raise money for the contra rebels fighting in Nicaragua. But none of North's secret activities may prove as vital to the rebels as his testimony before the Iran-contra committees. As millions of Americans watched on television, North pleaded passionately for support of efforts to overthrow Nicaragua's Marxist Sandinista junta. He was even permitted to deliver his patented fund-raising pitch, minus the projection of 57 slides that usually accompany the spiel. Holding a photograph of a makeshift contra grave, North, his voice choking...
...nationwide strike ended last week, but Haitians continued to demonstrate against the government of Lieut. General Henri Namphy. Protesters marched on the National Palace, waving branches symbolizing the "uprooting" of the regime. Four days later 10,000 snaked through Port-au-Prince chanting "Namphy...

Colonel Michael Powell, says NIS investigators have admitted altering their assessments of portions of Bracy's polygraph results from "nondeceptive" to "deceptive."

But when one of his interrogators then jumped up and shouted, "We've got ourselves another spy!" Bracy immediately denied saying anything of the kind. He also...
...most encouraging sign of Syrian moderation came in early June, when Assad closed down the Damascus offices of Abu Nidal, the notorious Palestinian terrorist-for-hire. Abu Nidal, who received attention in last week's Iran- contra hearings for his threats against Lieut. Colonel Oliver North, is suspected of masterminding the Rome and Vienna airport massacres that killed 19 in December 1985. Moreover, while still railing against Israel, Syrian radio now broadcasts stinging criticisms of terrorist acts. One statement specifically condemned taking "innocents and journalists" hostage, an obvious reference to last month's kidnaping of former ABC Correspondent Charles Glass...
