Overkill. Ulrike Meinhof hanged herself in her prison cell in 1976. Holger Meins, another defendant, had died before the trial began following a hunger strike. But Andreas Baader and his two remaining confederates, after a nearly two-year trial, finally heard judgment pronounced last week in Stuttgart. Baader, now 33, Gudrun Ensslin, 36, and Jan-Carl Raspe, 32, were found guilty of murder and were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 15 years-a judicial tactic to minimize the possibility of parole...
...Mink claims she was told that the pills were vitamins, and was not officially notified of the DES project by Chicago authorities until February 1976.

...organize with the people I had left behind and to distill some common meaning from the diverging patterns of our lives. Yet still I could not shake the sense that some of the clearest memories I have of the past four years--being locked in a narrow jail cell with 50 other people after the anti-war demonstrations at the 1972 Republican Convention or walking down Brooklyn streets with a green-eyed woman--have nothing to do with Harvard...
