...director and once a prominent left-wing journalist, Meinhof, 41, already stood convicted of attempted murder in a 1970 prison raid that freed the gang's other namesake, Arsonist Andreas Baader, and began their paramilitary spree. One year ago she, Baader, now 33, and two other gang members-Jan-Carl Raspe, 31, and Gudrun Ensslin, 33-went on trial for a list of charges that included five counts of murder and 54 of attempted murder. Other Baader-Meinhof members are among 220 terrorists also in West German prisons, but the group clearly has some colleagues on the outside. Since...
...even Catholics who are liberal on marital and sexual issues can be adamant about abortion - at least for themselves and their families. "Abortion is murder to me," says Mary Ann Murphy, 54, of Alexandria, Va. "But I cannot jam my religious beliefs down someone else's throat." Jan Slevin, a nurse, refused to work in the obstetrics unit of Washington General Hospital because of the many abortions performed there.

The book...
Moreover, because of popular fascination with the remote, far too many futurists are busy examining the millennium, as if upon Jan. 1, 2000, a new apocalypse or renaissance would magically appear. The calendar is not so cooperative; by definition, the most astonishing changes always go unheralded. Of course, some predictions can be made. Given current trends -and even these are contingent-there will be increasing numbers of Third World citizens and a proportionately decreasing number of Westerners. There will be smaller concentrations of young Americans, and larger colonies of old ones. Working hours will drop; the political power of women...
Marion Hedgepeth (Jan-Michael Vincent) wants to be a Marine. His ambition recalls that old joke: he wants to be a Marine in the worst way. The harder he tries, the clumsier he becomes, until the Marines give up. He washes out of boot camp as a "baby blue." His uniform is taken away and he and his fellows-in-disgrace are sent on their way in powder-blue fatigues...
