Leading the fight was the Green Party, a loose amalgam of environmentalists and antinuclear militants, which charged that the Volkszählung, or people count, amounted to an invasion of privacy. (The questionnaire asks about everything from monthly rent to religious beliefs.) Last week an eight-judge federal court decided that there was merit to the argument and ordered the census postponed...
...quieter gestures in a day of theatrics for West Germany's Greens, a loose amalgam of environmentalists and antinuclear activists who last week took their seats in the national legislature for the first time.

Thus what unites yesterday's conservatives with today's radicals is not only a just anti-imperialism, but also the authoritarian and antidemocratic temple. In the Mexican middle class, the breeding ground of our leaders, it is common to rind an amalgam of the conservative sentiments of the criollos [Mexicans of pure Spanish blood] of the 19th century with the diffuse anti-imperialist ideology of the 20th. These traditional beliefs, heirs of the criollo aristocracy, are the unconscious psychological foundation and the hidden source of the modern authoritarian ideologies professed by many...
