...appeals court "Nazis," the judges actually issued a softening verdict. They ruled that Croissant could be extradited for trial on the charge of transmitting criminal correspondence between his clients and terrorist compatriots on the outside, but not on other charges that he propagandized for his clients and helped them hide from police. Under a 1953 treaty with France, West German prosecutors are bound to honor the judges' limitations...
MANY HARVARD STUDENTS seem to have--on the cultivated surface at least--an unbounded propensity for cynicism. Whether this stems from truly eye-opening, hide-hardening experience or whether this is simply an immature attempt to appear worldly and sophisticated is questionable.

The case turned into a crusade with New Times magazine, The New York Times, and a score of celebrities led by playwright Arthur Miller...
...office is seeking the death penalty, and Davis has hired a team of nine lawyers, supplemented by twelve investigators and secretaries, to represent him. Foremost among them is Richard ("Racehorse") Haynes, a flamboyant character fond of hand-tooled ostrich-hide boots and aggressive tactics of crossexamination. "My wealth has worked against me," Davis laments, ruefully noting his lawyers' failure to get him released on bail over the past 14 months, but he has managed to carry on his business from a phone in the judge's chambers and to dine with cronies in a vacant jury room...
