It resulted in the death of a university physics researcher and injuries to three others.
==Overview== left|thumb|Sterling Hall historical marker Sterling Hall is a centrally located building on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. The bomb, set off at 3:42 am on August 24, 1970, was intended to destroy the Army Mathematics Research Center (AMRC) housed on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the building. It caused massive destruction to other parts of the building and nearby buildings as well. It resulted in the death of the researcher Robert Fassnacht, injured three others and caused significant destruction to the physics department and its equipment.<ref name="MJ-bomb" /><ref name="injured" /><ref name="Untold1" /><ref name="Reinke" /> Neither Fassnacht nor the physics department itself was involved with or employed by the Army Mathematics Research Center.
The bombers used a Ford Econoline van stolen from a University of Wisconsin professor of computer sciences. It was filled with close to {{convert|2000|lb}} of ANFO (i.e., ammonium nitrate and fuel oil).<ref name="WHS" /> Pieces of the van were found on top of an eight-story building three blocks away and 26 nearby buildings were damaged; however, the targeted AMRC was scarcely damaged.<ref name="WSJ1" /> Total damage to University of Wisconsin–Madison property was over $2.1 million (${{formatprice|{{inflation|US|2100000|1972}}}} in {{Inflation/year|US}}){{Inflation/fn|US}} as a result of the bombing.<ref name="WSJ" />
==Army Mathematics Research Center== thumb|right|255px|Sterling Hall after the bombing During the Vietnam War, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of the southern (east-west) wing of Sterling Hall housed the Army Mathematics Research Center (AMRC). This was an Army-funded think tank, directed by J. Barkley Rosser, Sr.{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}}
At the time of the bombing, the staff at the center consisted of about 45 mathematicians, about 30 of them full-time. Rosser was well known for his research in pure mathematics, logic (Rosser's trick, the Kleene–Rosser paradox, and the Church–Rosser theorem) and in number theory (Rosser sieve). Rosser had been the head of the U.S. ballistics program during World War II and also had contributed to research on several missiles used by the U.S. military.{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}}
The money to build a home for AMRC came from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) in 1955. Their money built a 6-floor addition to Sterling Hall. In the contract to work at the facility, it was required that mathematicians spend at least half their time on U.S. Army research.{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}}
Rosser publicly minimized any military role of the center and implied that AMRC pursued mathematics, including both pure and applied mathematics. The University of Wisconsin student newspaper, ''The Daily Cardinal'', obtained and published quarterly reports that AMRC submitted to the Army. ''The Cardinal'' published a series of investigative articles making a convincing case that AMRC was pursuing research that was directly pursuant to specific United States Department of Defense requests, and relevant to counterinsurgency operations in Vietnam. AMRC became a magnet for demonstrations, in which protesters chanted "U.S. out of Vietnam! Smash Army Math!"{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}}
The Army Mathematics Research Center was phased out by the Department of Defense at the end of the 1970 fiscal year.<ref name="NSF" />
==Bombers and suspected bomber== [[File:Sterling Hall Bombers.jpg|thumb|175px|FBI wanted posters published shortly after the bombing]] The bombers were Karleton Armstrong, Dwight Armstrong, David Fine, and allegedly Leo Burt. They called themselves the "New Year's Gang", a name which was derived from an exploit on New Year's Eve 1969. In that earlier attack, Dwight and Karl, with Karl's girlfriend, Lynn Schultz (who drove the getaway car), stole a small plane from Morey Field in Middleton. Dwight and Karl dropped homemade explosives on the Badger Army Ammunition Plant, but the explosives failed to detonate. They successfully landed the plane at another airport and escaped.
===Karleton "Karl" Armstrong=== {{Quote_box | width = 30% | align = right | quote = I still feel we can't rationalize someone getting killed, but at that time we felt we should never have done the bombing at all. Now I don't feel that way. I feel it was justified and should have been done. It just should have been done more responsibly.<ref name="Untold2" /><br />—Karleton Armstrong, in a 1986 interview }}Karl was the oldest of the bombers. He had been admitted to the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1964, but left in 1965, working odd jobs for the next couple of years. He was re-accepted into the university in the fall of 1967. Karl witnessed violent confrontations between protesters and police on October 18, 1967 when Dow Chemical Company held job interviews on campus, which many students protested by blocking the building where interviews were being held.<ref name="Untold1" />
Before the Sterling Hall bombing, Karl had committed other acts of anti-war violence, including setting fire to an ROTC installation at the University of Wisconsin Armory (the Red Gym), and bombing what he thought was the State's Selective Service headquarters, but turned out to be the University of Wisconsin Primate Research Center. Karl also attempted to plant explosives at a Prairie du Sac electrical substation that supplied power to the Badger Ammunition Plant, but was frightened off by the night watchman.<ref name="Untold1" />
After the bombing, Karl went into hiding for 18 months until his capture in Toronto on February 16, 1972.<ref name="Karleton_captured" /> He was sentenced to 23 years in prison, but served only seven.<ref name="Untold2" /><ref name="williams2019" /><ref name="Apolo" /> After his release, Armstrong returned to Madison, where he operated a juice cart called Loose Juice on the library mall. In the early 2000s, he opened a deli called Radical Rye on State Street near the UW–Madison campus, which he operated until it was displaced by the development of the Overture Center for the Arts.<ref name="rye1" /><ref name="arms2002" />
===Dwight Armstrong=== Dwight Armstrong, Karl's younger brother, was 19 at the time of the bombing. After the bombing, he lived in a commune in Toronto under the name "Virgo". After a few months, he left the commune, traveled first to Vancouver and then on to San Francisco, where he connected with the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) which was holding Patty Hearst at the time. It is believed he was not active in the SLA. He returned to Toronto where he was arrested on April 10, 1977. He pleaded guilty to the bombing, was sentenced to seven years in prison, of which he served three before being released.
In 1987, he was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to ten years in prison for conspiring to distribute amphetamines in Indiana.<ref name="drugs" /> After being released from prison, he returned to Madison and worked for Union Cab until January 2001, when he purchased the Radical Rye Deli with his brother.<ref name="arms2002" /><ref name="MJS" />
Dwight Armstrong died from lung cancer on June 20, 2010, at age 58.<ref name="obit" /><ref name="NYTObit" />
===David Fine=== [[File:Ford Falcon van.JPG|thumb|250px|An early 1960s Ford van, similar to the van used in the bombing]] Eighteen years old at the time of the bombing, David Fine was the youngest of the four bombers. He came to UW Madison as a freshman in 1969. He wrote for the campus newspaper ''The Daily Cardinal,'' and associated with other writers, including Leo Burt. He met Karl Armstrong in the summer of 1970.
On January 7, 1976, he was captured in San Rafael, California, and sentenced to seven years in federal prison for his part in the bombing, of which he served three.<ref name="Untold1" />
In 1987, after passing the Oregon bar examination, Fine was denied admission to the bar on the grounds that he "had failed to show good moral character". Fine appealed the decision to the Oregon Supreme Court, which upheld the decision.<ref name="BAR" />
===Leo Burt=== Leo Burt was 22 years old, and worked at the campus newspaper ''The Daily Cardinal'' with David Fine. Burt came to Wisconsin following his interest in rowing, and joined the crew.<ref name="fugitive2" /> He introduced Fine and Karl Armstrong to each other in July 1970.
After the bombing, Burt fled to Canada with Fine,<ref name="Leo" /> and as of May 2023, still has not been seen.<ref name="Mungin" /><ref name="Fitz" /><ref name="Chan3000" /> Over the years, there had been new leads on his possible whereabouts, none of which panned out.<ref name="Post" /><ref name="Fugitive" />
==Victims== thumb|250px|Plaque on the south side of Sterling Hall. Dedicated on May 18, 2007.|alt=A plaque reads: "In memoriam. This is the site of the Sterling Hall Bombing, which occurred at 3:40 AM on August 24, 1970. An outstanding research scientist, Dr. Robert Fassnacht, was killed in the bombing while working in his laboratory on a physics experiment studying a basic mechanism for superconductivity in metals. Three others were injured. Dr. Fassnacht was 33 years old, married, and had three young children."
Robert Fassnacht was a 33-year-old postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. On the night and early morning of August 23–24, 1970, he went to the laboratory to finish up work before leaving on a family vacation.<ref name="Post" /> He was involved in research in the field of superconductivity. At the time of the explosion, Fassnacht was in his laboratory located in the basement level of Sterling Hall. He was monitoring an experiment when the explosion occurred.<ref name="experiment" /> Rescuers found him face down in about a foot of water.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Erickson |first=Doug |date=2020-08-18 |title=When bomb tore through Sterling Hall 50 years ago, he was inside: ‘I still have flashbacks’ |url=https://news.wisc.edu/when-bomb-tore-through-sterling-hall-he-was-inside-i-still-have-flashbacks/ |access-date=2024-01-21 |website=University of Wisconsin–Madison |language=en-US |archive-date=January 21, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240121035432/https://news.wisc.edu/when-bomb-tore-through-sterling-hall-he-was-inside-i-still-have-flashbacks/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
Injured in the bombing were Paul Quin, David Schuster, and Norbert Sutler. Schuster, a South African graduate student,<ref name="Schuster" /> who became deaf in one ear and with only partial hearing in the other ear,<ref name="SevenMen" /> was the most seriously injured of the three, suffering a broken shoulder, fractured ribs and a ruptured eardrum; he was buried in the rubble for three hours before being rescued by firefighters. Quin, a postdoctoral physics researcher, and Sutler, a university security officer, suffered cuts from shattered glass and bruises.<ref name="injured" /> Quin, who became a physics professor at UW–Madison, always refused to discuss the bombing in public.<ref name="SevenMen" />
