...Steiner and Daniel Cantor, director of personnel administration, orchestrated a campaign that included frequent meetings with Med Area workers and the distribution of 12 pamphlets questioning the motives and effectiveness of District 65.

Baader, now 33, Gudrun Ensslin, 36, and Jan-Carl Raspe, 32, were found guilty of murder and were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 15 years-a judicial tactic to minimize the possibility of parole...
