...afternoon, the Bavarian sky finally clouded and the light seemed right. Because it was so late, two scenes were shot simultaneously, Nykvist filming from one end of the street and Bergman from the other. "We don't have to even talk any more on the set," Bergman says of Nykvist, who has worked with him on 18 films. "We instinctively know what we want." Nykvist is hard of hearing in his left ear and Bergman in his right. "When we talk," says the jolly Nykvist, "we look like a pair of geese doing a mating dance...

Continuing his sniping against Kohl's political ally Franz Josef Strauss, boss of the Christian Social Union and Kohl's declared choice as Vice Chancellor, Schmidt scourged the bully Bavarian conservative as a "political arsonist."

Since Hauser's allegations were not corroborated, the Lockheed issue was simply dropped in Bonn...

Farmers in England, northern France, Belgium, northern Italy and West Germany went months without rain, while their fields dried out and their crops shriveled. "My potatoes that should be fist-sized are as big as my thumb," complained a farmer near the small Bavarian village of Hersbruck. "That's what this cursed weather has done." The drought has also turned what promised to be a record British grain harvest into a disaster, lowering harvest expectations from 17.5 million tons to an anticipated 13.8 million. The grain shortage, in turn, is expected to drive...
