...easy for the flag to follow the trade. Just before last September's elections, Schroder hinted that he would like to see West German missions in East European countries elevated to embassies-and was quickly shouted down by Bavaria's Conservative Leader Franz Josef Strauss. Blessed with the backing of C.D.U. Chairman Konrad Adenauer, Strauss still has it in for Schroder for his role in the 1962 Spiegel affair, which cost Strauss his job as Defense Minister. Accused of being "soft" on the "Eastern question," Schroder quickly backed away...
...again, plus three other Cabinet posts for his party. Somehow, however, Erhard would have to reconcile Mende's demands with those of former Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss. Strauss is chief of the 48-man Bavarian branch of the C.D.U., which won a thumping majority of 55% in Bavaria, and he would certainly be entitled to sit in the Cabinet-except for the fact that Mende won't have him. Flying into Bonn to proclaim that he meant "to represent Bavarian interests," Strauss let it be known that his price for sitting out this administration might be Mende...
Under the towering cast-iron statue of a busty Mädchen who symbolizes Bavaria, Munich crowds gathered at the Theresienwiese fairground last week for the year's biggest community beer bash, the 16-day Oktoberfest. Dating from the come-everybody wedding reception 155 years ago of Bavaria's Crown Prince Ludwig, Oktoberfest today is an excuse for games, gourmandising and, among Bavarians, whose per capita annual beer consumption is 218 quarts, for quaffing the amber Märzenbier.* Seven big beer tents steined out Märzenbier last week, but nowhere was it downed faster than...
...joined the lederhosen-and dirndl-clad Bavarians were welcomed by the Löwenbräu representatives with more than the usual enthusiasm. Reason: 582-year-old Löwenbräu, the largest Bavarian brewery, is pressing exports harder than ever. Its domestic sales are concentrated in Bavaria (well-entrenched regional breweries dominate elsewhere in Germany) and Bavarian consumption is flattening out despite the low cost of a pint bottle of beer (13?). Löwenbräu's rising exports to 100 nations now account for 33% of its volume...
...Bavaria's Hans Glas, which built its success on the tiny, utilitarian Goggomobil, displayed a flashy new luxury coupé that has the sleek, low lines of Italy's Lancia, does 125 m.p.h. and costs $4,500. Daimler-Benz introduced a new Mercedes, the 250 S, which still bears a strong family resemblance but is longer, lower and rounder. Italy was represented by a glittering array of high-priced Ferraris, Maseratis and Alfa Romeos as well as by the nimble, lower-priced Fiats. As always, the Rolls-Royce exhibit drew large crowds. They may have been looking...
