...sentenced to life imprisonment. Last year he was transferred from prison to the hospital in Rome for treatment of terminal intestinal cancer. Since then, his wife, a nurse who had carried on a lengthy correspondence with Kappler before marrying him in a prison wedding in 1972, had become a frequent and familiar visitor. Because of Kappler's deteriorating condition, she had been allowed almost unlimited access to him, often acting as his private nurse...
...procedures. Says a registered nurse and lay midwife in California: "Just in case the woman tears, the hospital does an episiotomy; just in case she bleeds, they give her an intravenous solution during labor; just in case she may need a cesarean, they don't feed her." Another frequent complaint concerns the mother's position during labor. In hospitals, the complaint runs, women are strapped to delivery tables, though some women who have practiced natural childbirth find that other positions can be as effective and more comfortable...
...Geneva Conference on Middle East peace, which was recessed in 1974, has since assumed the mystique of some diplomatic Camelot: in Geneva, some day, somehow, Israelis and Arabs will shake hands, sit down together and hammer out a permanent agreement ending 29 years of constant tension and frequent all-out war.

The Premier would go on a trip, and we would have to find out from the newspapers what happened...
Even at its zenith in the early 1970s, the Baader-Meinhof gang never numbered more than about 25. Yet they frightened West Germany into a state of paranoia. Financing operations through frequent bank robberies, the gang set up bomb factories and, through their contacts with international terrorist groups, bought arsenals of weapons and ammunition. Suitably armed, the German terrorists embarked on a killing and bombing spree. They vented their rage on "consumer capitalism" by placing bombs in Frankfurt department stores. They struck at the hated Ami (unflattering German slang for "American") by setting bombs in U.S. Army headquarters in Heidelberg...
