Original Toronto Star caption: They Eloped -- 6;000 Miles. After fleeing 6;000 mils to get married; Jaroslav Musil left; and Alena Cibulkova still face a hitch in getting hitched. The young couple; who fled their native Czechoslovakia hours before the Russians invaded; expected to marry in City Hall today. But officials balked when they found Jaroslav; a 30-year-old electrical engineer; was divorced. Lawyers are trying to sort out the legal tangle while Alena patiently waits-and shops around Toronto.
