...suspects eluded the dragnet. Johannes Koppe, 47, a Hamburg nuclear physicist and his wife Hannelore were gone when police arrived; they had apparently been alerted by a message on an illegal short-wave radio that was found in their apartment. Reiner Paul Fülle, 40, an accountant for a Karlsruhe plant that recycles nuclear fuel, was caught by the Bundeskriminalamt, West Germany's equivalent of the FBI. But when the lone agent assigned to drive Fülle to jail reached the prison and got out of the car the prisoner, who unaccountably had not been manacled, leaped...

Many journalists consider that scandal their calling's finest hour. Foster, writes Rosenbaum, "caught the crest of the wave of media fever that engulfed mid-Seventies America. Woodward and Bernstein brought down a President; Redford and Hoffman enshrined the heroic reporters as symbolic successors. The entire journalism profession swelled with newly inflated prestige, power and self-esteem." In Rosenbaum's cunning roman à Clay, however, the gleaming knights...
