Strauss has been a rallying point for Germans who still dream of reunification. His unconcealed hatred of the Soviet and East Berlin regimes made him the leading opponent in the Bundestag of former Chancellor Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik. He has not budged in his position. Interviewed recently in his Munich penthouse, he told TIME Correspondent Christopher Byron: "Ostpolitik's trade deals are absurd. First we offer to sell the Soviets something; then we give them the money to buy it. That's a marvelous way of doing business, isn't it? We should concentrate on improving...
Schroder was born in 1940 in East Prussia, but her family moved in the middle of the war to Berlin, where her father was a designer for the Luftwaffe. Growing up in a city under siege made an impression on her that is vague, because she was so young, but nonetheless indelible...
...addition to all the obvious trouble spots, others could emerge as unexpectedly as Cyprus did last summer. Yet not all is doom for 1975. Many of the flash points of the Cold War are now relatively calm, such as Berlin and the heavily guarded border area in Central Europe separating East and West.

Although the treaty need not require it, Ullman suggests stationing U.S. troops in Israel as part of an alliance. Positioned along the Arab-Israeli borders, the G.I.s might help deter attacks as effectively as they have in South Korea, West Berlin and West Germany. There they act as "trip wires"-their vulnerability serving to convince any potential aggressor of the near impossibility of striking without taking some American lives and thus presumably drawing the U.S. into...
