This set of FBI documents is the sixth released by RESIST, a Cambridge based antiwar group, since the Media raid eight weeks ago. The documents were mailed anonymously to RESIST early this week by the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI, an underground group which has claimed credit for the Media raid...
...West Germany's noisy National Democrats, whose election successes in the late 1960s triggered fears of a Nazi revival, in recent months have adopted a new salute. It is an upraised hand with two fingers and thumb spread to form a W, standing for Widerstand (resistance).

Even Sarah's old lover has become a marked man as a Protestant journalist championing the Catholic cause...
