...This winter the government put Groenewold and Croissant on trial for their defense tactics. Strobele may also face prosecution, along with a dozen other radical lawyers, on various charges. Croissant's trial, in the Stuttgart court where the Baader gang leaders were convicted last spring, is likely to be less restrained than Groenewold's. Croissant is more given to outbursts than his colleague, and his lawyers delayed the trial soon after it began by refusing to unzip their trousers so that guards could inspect their underwear for weapons.

Leonard Saffir, the paper's founder, publisher and editor in chief, blamed the severe winter for hampering distribution and timorous department stores for failing to advertise in the tabloid. "It was the community that put this paper out of business," fumed Saffir in a farewell address to his 130-member staff. "The major stores, Macy's, Gimbels, Bloomingdale's, were shortsighted...
