When the organizations suspected the wiretap last February, they tested the phones with a relative field strength meter, designed by Clyde Wallace, owner of the Spy Shop in Washington, D.C. The meter revealed the presence of a radio frequency used only for wiretapping on all of the telephones at 67 Winthrop St., Cambridge, where the four organizations had offices. Wallace retested the phones Thursday and said he found the radio signal "still emanating...
...home movie corn. The movie remains a series of set pieces never made whole, and the ending invokes a facile and familiar irony. The yarn about "that last great raid" contains echoes of many other films and film makers, most markedly Arthur Penn (The Left Handed Gun, Bonnie and Clyde) and Abraham Polonsky (Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here).

...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.

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. Modeling themselves on Uruguay's Tupamaro guerrillas, the gang, which numbered about 25 at its zenith, has engaged in a string of brazen bank robberies, car thefts...
