...Israeli soldiers? How many of them are still alive? And whose answers to those questions can be trusted? Hizballah asserted last week that three of the servicemen are still alive. A Westerner who has served as an intermediary in hostage negotiations said he believed that only airman Ron Arad has survived his captivity. When those contradictory statements were coupled with the disparate claims emanating from Iran and Syria about the Israeli soldiers, the overriding impression was that no one source could account authoritatively for all seven...
...ites and other prisoners. The sticking point is seven Israeli prisoners, captured over the years in Lebanon, who Israel insists must be released as part of the bargain. It is not known, however, how many of the seven are dead. Last week Hizballah announced that at least one, Ron Arad, is alive.

Popescu's two-hour, 300-mile hedgehop from the Rumanian town of Arad to Feldbach, an Austrian village ten miles inside the Austro-Hungarian frontier, in a single-engine Antonov2 biplane was almost flight-plan perfect. He loaded his passengers on a craft designed for no more than 14 people, then flew 150 ft. above ground across Rumania and Hungary into Austria. After dodging high-tension wires, mountaintops, watchtowers, even barbed-wire fences, he made a bumpy landing in a rain-soaked cornfield, where Farmer Herbert Kaspar, 50, was working. Reported Kaspar: "For a while there was no sound...
