...because the humor of the British comedy team of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, who originally wrote and performed in this two-man show, is nothing short of infectious. Cook and Moore were part of the original Beyond the Fringe group, and recently performed with Monty Python's gang. This Winthrop House Good Evening produced on Broadway several years ago. The entire evening of British comedy runs tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday, with an additional late show on Friday, in the Winthrop JCR; tickets available at the door...

Croissant was further accused of helping Andreas Baader escape an arrest warrant and bullying an imprisoned gang member into joining the hunger strike...
This winter the government put Groenewold and Croissant on trial for their defense tactics. Strobele may also face prosecution, along with a dozen other radical lawyers, on various charges. Croissant's trial, in the Stuttgart court where the Baader gang leaders were convicted last spring, is likely to be less restrained than Groenewold's. Croissant is more given to outbursts than his colleague, and his lawyers delayed the trial soon after it began by refusing to unzip their trousers so that guards could inspect their underwear for weapons. The Federal Constitutional Court ruled early this month that...
