...magistrate investigating the papal plot, must come to a decision on Antonov's alibis. It may hinge on other evidence he is gathering. West Germany informed Martella last week that it had agreed to his request for the extradition of Musa Serdar Çelebi, a right-wing Turkish extremist whom Magistrate Martella has accused of complicity in Agca's crime. Martella also went to Munich to interview another Turk, Atalai Saral, for the investigation. Said Martella of his meeting with Saral: "Very interesting...
...Corporation, of course, has consistently dismissed arguments for divestiture--on the grounds that it is backed only by extremists and that it could foreclose University leverage on the company in question.

This does not mean that our speakers are "homogeneous": every MEEP organizational meeting was characterized by heated debate over the choice...
...drive in a bulletproof car from Beirut to Jounieh, a seaside town north of the capital, and board a U.S. helicopter for Larnaca in Cyprus. Then he would catch a flight to Tel Aviv. As the negotiations edged toward a settlement, U.S. intelligence agents picked up reports that an extremist splinter group of the P.L.O., run by George Habash, intended to assassinate the envoy. The faction opposed a P.L.O. withdrawal from Beirut. Habib spent one night in the shelter of the residence of U.S. Ambassador Robert S. Dillon in Yarze, southeast of Beirut. Habib also had to break off talks...
