...schedule, and with only a single tragic incident-four Austrian soldiers of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force were killed when their Land Rover exploded a mine-Syria and Israel last week completed the separation of forces specified by their cease-fire agreement. Syria recovered not only all the territory it lost in the October fighting, but also Quneitra, the Golan Heights provincial capital that Israel has held since '67.

As the lawyers told it, in August, shortly after Garrow was flushed out of the mountains and arrested by a state police posse, he told Beige that he had raped and killed a woman in an abandoned mine shaft. Some three weeks later, Beige found the mine-and the body of Susan Petz, 21. She had been missing since July, although the body of her camping companion, Daniel Porter, 23, had been found in the area. Then, late last September, another Garrow confession led the lawyers...
