...bother to read Rich's column, gang, cause the best rock sound available this week (with the possible exception of Jethro Tull at the Garden on December 6) is on the tube. On Wednesday night, all you "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys" can get "In the Mood" with Bette Midler and her friends. Instead of shelling out 100 bucks for front row seats (that's what they charged when she opened in Chicago a couple of years ago), watch her for free at 10 p.m. on channel...
That grim message was delivered to Bonn news agencies after three convicted members of the infamous Baader-Meinhof gang committed suicide last month in their prison cells following West Germany's antiterrorist raid at Mogadishu. As the deadline arrived last week, West Germany's national airline responded with a policy of saturation security for its 411 daily scheduled flights worldwide. Fortunately, as the first tense days came and went, there were no incidents more serious than flight delays of up to 20 minutes caused by Lufthansa's preboarding passenger inspections.

...capturing the pair, Gert Richard Schneider, 28, and Christoph Michael Wackernagel, 26, a former movie actor who is the video expert for the Red Army gang, the Dutch had managed a feat that has so far eluded a whole army of German policemen.

In Koblenz, police raided a warehouse in search of terrorists-and surprised a gang of car thieves. At a roadblock in Hildesheim, a town 18 miles outside Hannover, police searched a car and found wigs, rubber masks and two pistols; the occupants confessed they were on their way to rob a bank. In the fashionable Grünewald section of West Berlin, a brothel operator griped about...
Reports have now reached Hong Kong that Chuang attempted to take his own life in Peking by hanging himself with his belt. The reason: he had come under attack for his association with the Gang of Four, the political radicals headed by Mao Tse-tung's widow, Chiang Ch'ing, who are still being reviled in the Chinese press because they reduced the national economy to "semianarchy" and "rode roughshod over the people, drank their blood and ate their flesh." Soon after the Gang of Four was arrested last year, Chuang, now 36, was kicked...
