Nothing demonstrates the Red Brigades' methods more chillingly than the campaign of terror that members have conducted since the Turin trial began in May 1976. That first trial was postponed when a defendant announced that brigatisti were responsible for the assassination of Genoa's chief public prosecutor and two assistants just the day before. Last April, as the trial was to resume, brigatisti fatally shot Fulvio Croce, 76, president of the Turin Bar Association, whose appointment as Curcio's defense counsel made him a "collaborationist of the regime."

Scott Turow is moving on. He's got one term left at the Law School and after that, the real world: he has signed a four-year contract as a prosecutor with the United States Attorney's office in Chicago, where he worked last summer. In the meantime, he spends three to four days a week in a clinical program, which includes a day in court.

...onetime U.S. Attorney who sent more than 300 corrupt officials to jail between 1971 and 1975 has proved equally skilled at politics. The Chicago machine trembled at the prospect of a prosecutor as Governor, but he has allayed their fears. "I made a special effort to get along with the Democrats," he explains, "because everybody was tired of the constant fighting. I wanted to show them that I was not afraid of compromise and that I was not the holder of all wisdom...
