...violent act by a clean-cut Viet Nam veteran and former policeman and fireman shocked San Franciscans. "If White had been a breakfast cereal," said one acquaintance, "he would have to have been Wheaties." But Defense Counsel Douglas Schmidt described White as a manic-depressive with intolerable pressures because of his heavily mortgaged house and his efforts to support a wife and baby from a fast-food stand. The defense made much of White's penchant for wolfing down junk food-Twinkies, Cokes, doughnuts, candy bars-a habit that, the defense claimed, exacerbated his depression and indicated a chemical...
...visiting heads of government without missing a beat. Ireland's Prime Minister Jack Lynch, in London on private business, came in for a half-hour tête-à-tête to sample her views on the chronic issue of British policy in Ulster.

The P.L.O. security chief, Abu Hoal, assured a delegation from Bonn's antiterrorist unit that his organization was not harboring the Schleyer killers. Other discussions have followed, including a Beirut meeting two weeks ago between a legislator from Schmidt's Social Democratic Party and P.L.O. Chief Yasser Arafat. Bonn officials hope that such contacts will give West German terrorists a sobering sense of isolation. As for the Palestinians and the Libyans, they apparently want to dissociate themselves from pure anarchists like the Red Army Faction killers...
