The Naxalite movement, so named because it originated four years ago in the remote Naxalbari region near the Himalayas, has spread to several parts of India but is now concentrated among the embittered students and unemployed college degree holders of Calcutta...
...bloody episode that led to the murder and kidnaping charges against Angela occurred next door to where her hearing took place. On Aug. 7, Superior Court Judge Harold Haley and four other people were taken hostage in the midst of a trial by the three defendants and a 17-year-old youth, who had smuggled guns into the courtroom. In a wild shootout with police that followed, three of the hostages were wounded. The judge and three of the fugitives were killed. Defendant Davis, who had taught philosophy at U.C.L.A. until last June, is accused of murder, conspiracy and kidnaping...
