...woman shot Sergio Palmieri, 41, a Fiat labor relations official, also in the legs, as he left for work. At week's end these terrorists were still at large. Authorities, however, issued arrest warrants for six men and three women who were charged with Moro's abduction and the killing of his five bodyguards. All were suspected members of the Red Brigades or a violence-prone student group called Workers Autonomy...
Like Pope Paul's unprecedented "I beg you on my knees" personal message the week before, Waldheim's appeal on prime-time television gave the Red Brigades a measure of the political recognition they seemed to crave. But it appeared to have no direct effect. Pleas from Moro's family have also come to naught. Throughout the ordeal, the family's tragic situation has often put it at odds with both the Christian Democrats and the government's investigating authorities. The family wants a negotiated release, while the government and the party feel compelled...
...psychologist and expert in experimental education, Moro's wife of 33 years, Eleonora, was meeting a group of parents whose children she was preparing for First Communion when she learned of the kidnaping.

Friends say the family is still hopeful that Moro's life may be spared. Nonetheless, Caritas last week closed its switchboard at night, no longer seeing the need to listen 24 hours a day for a possible signal from the kidnapers. Its well-advertised phone number had been dialed only by cranks or nameless volunteers offering to replace Moro as a hostage. From the kidnapers, apart from the latest cruel communiqué, there came only silence...
