...suburb of Dortmund, West Germany, were startled early last week by the sound of gunshots issuing from a dense forest only 200 yds. from a crowded autobahn. Police investigating the reports surprised two men and a woman blazing away with pistols at a newspaper pinned to a tree. The trio turned their weapons on the police, killing one officer and wounding another in the thigh. The wounded cop managed to shoot two of the attackers, who were later identified as Michael Knoll, 27, and Angelika Speitel, 26, both members of the terrorist Red Army Faction.

At a farmhouse in the mountains, Vesco outlined a preposterous plan. If the Carter Administration would promise him leniency, he would order six Latin American countries under his "control" to support the Panama Canal treaty. Back in the U.S., Bartlett and his law partner...
...crowd had calmed down a bit, not quite knowing what to do with its growing triumph, nursing the drinks to prolong a decision on what to do next. Over in one corner a trio of priests huddled together, discussing topics ecclesiastical and otherwise; in the eye of this growing storm, it seemed the logical place to head...
