...handle the case, feared the book's wide influence and demanded amendments. They were not upset by what Küng said, but by what he did not say. Letters passed back and forth, and a summit meeting with Küng was held a year ago in Stuttgart.

Declared Scheel: "If this flame is not smothered immediately, the brushfire will spread over the whole world...
...days later 1,000 radical sympathizers and curiosity-seekers attended a graveside service, also in Stuttgart, for the three Baader-Meinhof gang suicides -Andreas Baader, Jan-Carl Raspe and Gudrun Ensslin. Once again police were there in force as West German radicals -some of them masked to conceal their identities-praised the dead prisoners as martyrs and chanted political slogans.
