...after the blast news organizations in West Germany received a 2?? page letter in German jointly signed by two terrorist groups, West Germany's Red Army Faction and France's Direct Action. Composed on paper carrying the R.A.F.'s symbol, a five-pointed star overlaid with a submachine gun, the letter said in stilted, jargon-filled language that the attack had been the work of a joint "politico-military front in Western Europe with NATO as its main target." It called the Rhein-Main base a "pivotal point for war against the Third World and a nest of spies...
Chrysler's workers will receive most of the items on their wish list.

It had taken me 2?? hours to get from the playground to the Miyuki Bridge, and this was eight or nine hours later, so I had lain unconscious for a very long time. The warehouse at Ujina ordinarily was used to store food for the soldiers. Now it stored people, who sat dazed with their backs to the walls. The first thing I saw on coming to was a soldier's face looking into mine. He gave me an affectionate pat on the head. Perhaps it was he who removed...
