DEAR GOD, MAKE ME COWER SO THAT I CAN GET INTO THE PUBLIC SERVICE. So proclaimed banners carried through the streets of Bonn last week by some of the 15,000 long-haired, jeans-clad students who had poured into the capital for a peaceful protest against a variety of university and government measures. The target of those particular banners was a four-year-old government decree aimed at keeping potential subversives out of public service jobs. Universally known as the Radikalenerlass (radicals' decree), its tough guidelines have actually barred a mere 428 job applicants out of a total...
...Soweto will clearly hang over the Prime Minister's talks with Kissinger−one of those awkward summits that West German officials, in retrospect, probably wish could have been held elsewhere.

He alternately sniffed snuff and puffed menthol cigarettes as he talked about the political and economic prospects of Western Europe. Excerpts...
...BONN'S ROLE IN EUROPE. We have taken quite a number of initiatives. On the other hand, to be quite honest, we have been very careful not to congratulate ourselves too obviously on such initiatives. It will have to be this way for quite a while yet. I'm quite aware that the memory of the second World War has not died out. To some degree, there is a danger of reviving this memory in thinking of too great differences in the economic and social performance of this country as compared with others in Europe. From time...
