...ohne mich" (without me) campaign of the early 19505 against a West German army, urged concessions to Moscow as a price for German reunification. His support for the SPD's ill-fated "Deutschland Plan," which looked toward removal of Eastern and Western troops from Germany and Bonn's withdrawal from NATO, only bolstered Konrad Adenauer's suspicions that a Communist was trying to take over the Socialist movement. "A demon," growled Adenauer...
leadership in this area. Reason: Bonn's overriding foreign policy aims are to strengthen NATO, which sorely needs De Gaulle's ground troops, and to keep a powerful U.S. force in Europe. Said he: "Without the U.S., we are lost." KENNEDY, pointing out that France still relies totally on NATO for its own security, said succinctly last week: "A coherent policy cannot call for both our presence and our absence." The U.S. argues that even a "modest" nuclear deterrent will prove prohibitively expensive for France with the rapid sophistication of delivery systems and will not in fact deter...
Even this semiconcession is anathema to many West Germans. But Bonn's Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder is now backing Rusk's package, against the opposition of many prominent members of his own Christian Democratic Party.

At the end of 1934, Barth was brought before a Nazi court, found guilty of "seducing the minds" of German students. For his defense. Earth pulled a copy of Plato's Apology from his pocket, read Socrates' argument...
Summa of the Century. After the war, Barth lectured on theology among the bombed-out ruins of his old university in Bonn for a semester, then returned to Basel to carry on with the intellectual job that has preoccupied him since 1932: the writing of Church Dogmatics. Now 9,000 pages and twelve fat volumes long, Dogmatics is Earth's major effort to ex plain what it is that God has revealed. Dogmatics, in Barth's definition, is the critical examination of the Christian mes sage in light of what the Scriptures say. Barth's own examination...
