It was as if the person who stalked and killed Eva Berg Shoen stepped through a flaw in the safe universe of the rich, rustic homes huddled amid aspen and spruce on the heights outside this Old West skiing resort. In the early hours of last Monday, Eva's husband, Samuel "Sam" Shoen, was off on a trip to Phoenix, where he and his 11 siblings are locked in a seething court battle for control of Amerco, $1.6 billion parent company of U-Haul International. But that battle was a galaxy away from Telluride Ski Ranches, southwest of town a cool, almost crime-free world of unlocked doors, woodland trails and night quiet so deep that loud talk can be heard on the next ridge. The silence of the San Juan Mountains had been shattered earlier in the night by a spasm of barking from Eva's dogs: four Salukis, a Karelian bcarhound and a Welsh corgi. But now it was quiet again.

Mubarak, announcing that Egypt's advance troops were deployed Saturday, said they are battle-ready and will fight "if someone launches an aggression." Mubarak also said Syria is sending troops to join the Arab umbrella force. After Iraq, Egypt and Syria have the Arab world's largest armies. "We have already taken the decision in the summit to help our friends with Arab forces, and we are going to do it, and Syria also is going to do it," Mubarak told the British Broadcasting Corp. in London.
