...cold-blooded determination and brutal efficiency, few terrorist organizations can match the Japanese extremists who call themselves the Red Army. In the past five years the Red Army has hijacked planes, attacked embassies and murdered dozens of innocent people in various parts of Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Its most infamous exploit was the wanton slaughter of 26 tourists at Tel Aviv's Lod Airport in June 1972. Last week in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, five Red Army members stormed a 14-story downtown office building where more than 1,000 people were at work. Spraying...
Marta Neira, a 29-year-old model, was arrested last Dec. 9 in Santiago by DINA, Chile's brutal secret police.

Then, rumors of a new Soviet purchase of U.S. grain revived memories of the massive...
Sure it is, and back Moseby goes to Florida for a brutal confrontation with what amounts to a convention of practically every character actor he has up to now encountered in the movie, all of whom have been engaged in an elaborate plot to smuggle hot pre-Columbian art into the U.S. The kid, of course, was killed because she knew too much, and Moseby very nearly catches it when he achieves the same state of knowledgeability. His evasion of this fate, while lying wounded on the deck of a fishing boat, under attack from a maniacally persistent baddie possessed...
