Casualties Romania

Daniel Gavra lost his 21-year-old girlfriend and his left leg in a clash with Communist riot troops during the bloody finale of Eastern Europe's season of revolution. Gavra has been provided with a prosthesis and a pension by the Romanian government. But he never has received a plausible account of the shooting deaths of his girlfriend, Slobodanka Ewinger, and at least five other peaceful demonstrators.
