They included half-forgotten radicals, fugitives who had been running so long that no one bothered to chase them any more. More than a week after the $1.6 million armored-car holdup near Nyack, N.Y., in which two policemen and a Brink's guard were killed, investigators were still rounding up ghosts of the old left and exploring how the disparate and perhaps desperate groups had joined...
