...against Italian terrorism since it first raised its head a decade ago. The authorities also stumbled upon a possible link with the abduction by brigatisti of U.S. Brigadier General James Dozier in Verona on Dec. 17. Even as police were still sifting through the newly discovered evidence, a Brigades courier turned up at one of the raided apartments to deliver a message to Giovanni Senzani, 39, a Brigades mastermind, who had been arrested during the swoop. The note requested Senzani's advice on how to handle the Dozier kidnaping. Investigators concluded that the letter came from Dozier...
...communique on Dec. 27 displayed neither ideological sophistication nor skill at questioning. According to evidence found in his apartment, Senzani, the leader of the Rome column's propagandists, opposed the Dozier kidnaping, believing it to be irrelevant to the Brigades' true aims. Police theorize that the arrested courier was carrying the kidnapers' invitation to Senzani, who once studied at the University of California in Berkeley and speaks English, to assist in future interrogations of Dozier. In previous kidnapings-of Rome Magistrate Giovanni D'Urso and Christian Democratic Politician Ciro Cirillo-Senzani had served as the grand...
...simply "wanted to see the film clean one time before it went into the funnel" of the distribution system.

In Minneapolis, operating earnings slid from $6 million in 1979 to $3.7 million a year later, largely because of a 27-day newspaper strike and continuing losses from its latest acquisition, the Buffalo (N.Y.) Courier-Express (circ. 131,990). The smaller Des Moines company saw its earnings drop from $3.6 million in 1979 to $2.6 million in 1980, in part, because of the troubled evening Tribune (circ. 80,114), which has been losing readers steadily for more than a decade. Even more serious for Des Moines...
DIED. Mark Ethridge, 84, liberal, outspoken journalist who as publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Louisville Times between 1936 and 1963 helped lift both newspapers to national prominence; in Moncure, N.C. Ethridge's Louisville stewardship was distinguished by expanded, gimmick-free news coverage, enlivened writing and makeup, and an editorial page that spoke out strongly against such targets as poverty and racism, the latter of which he once described as "a complete humiliation of all people who profess any faith in democracy...
