...suspected terrorists, Stefano Petrella and Ennio di Rocco, were arrested near Rome's famed Spanish Steps. Those arrests led to raids on three Rome apartments, where police turned up Brigades documents and weapons and ten more Red Brigades members, including Giovanni Senzani, a former criminologist who became leader of the Brigades' Rome column. Less than two weeks later, after a bank robbery in Siena, police arrested two members of an ultramilitant Red Brigades splinter group called Prima Linea, or Front Line. Those arrests in turn led to the discovery of a secret Rome hideout, which, remarkably, was used...
...bust in Verona last Wednesday seems to have yielded the final link to Dozier's whereabouts. Among those arrested in the raid was Paolo Galati, 22, brother of Michele Galati, who is currently in prison for terrorist acts. Sources said Galati's name had been mentioned by Stefano Petrella after that brigatista's arrest in Rome. Police flew Petrella to Padua to confront Paolo Galati. Somehow, that meeting led police to the apartment on Via Pindemonte. As early as Tuesday, the U.S. embassy was informed that some sort of action to rescue Dozier was imminent...
...Kennedy-Onassis marriage was not a success. He continued to see Maria and, reports Biographer Arianna Stassinopoulos, just before he died in 1975, he hired Roy Conn to start divorce proceedings against Jackie.

One reason Psycho continues to disturb is that Screenwriter Joseph Stefano gave Norman Bates and his hapless victims some emotional resonance. Even if you never screamed while watching Psycho, you could appreciate it for the sense it gave of seemingly ordinary people drawn into a swamp of frustrations and aggressions. De Palma's movies no longer explore these tensions; they have become exhibitions of a master puppeteer pulling high-tension strings. In Dressed to Kill, the marionettes on-screen still respond to De Palma...
...when he was 27, he got a job as stand-by for Giuseppe di Stefano in a Covent Garden production of La Bohème and sang several performances. Conductor Richard Bonynge heard him and was "bowled over." Eventually, Pavarotti found himself singing with Bonynge's wife, Joan Sutherland, in a Miami production of Lucia di Lammermoor. To Sutherland's skeptical eye, this strapping unknown looked like "a big schoolboy." But to her ear? "Well, it was absolutely phenomenal ? the fabulous resonance, the shading, such range, such security." The Bonynges signed him up for a 14-week tour of Australia...
