...were also continuing into the deaths of Baader and the other members of his gang; two had died of pistol wounds, the third by hanging. The state government of Baden-Wurttemberg, which runs Stammheim prison, issued a preliminary report. In the terrorists' cells, investigators had found hidden explosives, razor blades, a radio and homemade Morse code equipment. They theorized that when one prisoner, Raspe, had picked up the news of the Mogadishu raid on his secret transistor radio, he immediately passed the word to the others through Morse code signals. This, the investigators speculated, led the prisoners to carry...
...fateful day-gulp!-will never come. Shortly after Capp, 68, penned this panel last month at his Boston studio, he signaled his retirement. The frog-voiced, razor-witted Daumier of Dogpatch for purt' near 44 years casually told an assistant: "You can stop cutting the paper. I'm not going to draw any more."

He may share the top billing with Hollis McLaren's Crazy Liza, but there's little doubt whose film Outrageous...
...most widely experienced and successful sailors in the world, winning in a variety of boats under every condition. As a skipper, he is a fire storm of energy, ranting, cursing, praising, excoriating. On the waters of Rhode Island Sound off Newport, he has driven his crew to a razor-sharp edge. Conservative in his tactics when in the lead, he will stop at nothing when he is behind. The final race last week against Enterprise was typical. Trailing at the final buoy, Turner drove his crew through 19 tacks on the last 2½mile leg. Each of the grueling...
