Almost everywhere they went, they blockaded and sometimes stoned the local printing plants of conservative Publisher Axel Springer, whose newspapers, notably the mass-circulation Bild-Zeitung, have denounced their restive leftist tendencies. The students also broke store windows, erected barricades across streets and fought bitter pitched battles with police. The violence was worst of all in West Berlin, where a mob of 3,000 young revolutionaries broke almost every lower-floor window in Springer's shiny skyscraper near...
