...Army Faction in Munich planted bombs at the U.S. Army headquarters in Heidelberg, killing three Americans, and boasts of another bombing in Frankfurt, which killed an American colonel. West German Autobahnen have been strung with roadblocks, and police searched for the remaining members of the bomb-slinging Bonnie und Clyde gang (TIME, June 12). So far, six have been caught. One was Gudrun Ensslin, 31, a minister's daughter and former student of German literature, who was captured in a Hamburg boutique after a saleswoman noticed a pistol stuffed into her jacket...
...from the garage, the police commanded the outlaws to take off their clothes and come out one by one. Clad only in dark shorts, the first to surrender was Holger Meins, 30 (left), a key member of the notorious terrorist gang bossed by West Germany's "Bonnie und Clyde"-former Journalist Ulrike Meinhof, 37, and Student Revolutionary Andreas Baader, 29 (TIME, June 5). After a second man also surrendered, police rushed the garage, where they found a big prize. Baader was lying on the floor with a bullet wound in his left thigh (center, right). As he was carried...
...arrests capped the largest man hunt in West Germany's postwar history. Tens of thousands of police have been combing the country for the terrorists, who have brought West Germany to the edge of hysteria. In the previous two weeks alone, the Bonnie und Clyde gang is believed to have been responsible for six major bombings, including two at U.S. Army installations that killed four U.S. servicemen and injured 41 persons.

...bombings appear to be tied to the notorious criminal gang led by West Germany's "Bonnie und Clyde" -sometime Journalist Ulrike Meinhof, 37, and Student Revolutionary Andreas Baader, 29 (TIME, Feb. 7). Meinhof and Baader, whose previous exploits included bank robberies, car thefts and shoot-outs with police, took credit for bombing the Army headquarters in Frankfurt. The explosion, they said in a message to the press, was intended as a protest against the Army's "extermination strategies in Viet Nam." Anarchist groups known to sympathize with the Baader-Meinhof gang claimed credit for three of the other...
...several decades, Hoover was a figure of heroic probity-another generation's pistol-packing version of Ralph Nader. Unmarried to the end, he lived with his mother until her death in 1938. For recreation, he went to the racetrack, usually with his lifelong friend Clyde Tolson, who became Associate Deputy Director of the bureau; Hoover always cautiously restricted himself to the $2 window. In the '30s and '40s, he began to appear in New York nightclubs, such as the Stork Club, with cronies, notably Walter Winchell, but he would have only one drink, or two at most...
