...champion in the bilateral race was Chancellor Schmidt, who managed 14 meetings with 13 other leaders, many of them from Eastern Europe. His goals: to get the East Europeans to ease up on their reluctance to include West Berlin in agreements dealing with West Germany and to advance Bonn's already booming trade relations with the East...
...Bonn Bureau Chief Bruce Nelan went to Helsinki in mid-July to find out in advance the schedule for the hectic 54 hours of the summit. Thus he got a head start on most of the 2,000 journalists expected to cover the event. "There will be 35 heads of state here," cabled Nelan, "and they are meeting not only as a group but also in a crisscrossing web of bilateral talks.

Yet even that future is unsettled, mainly because the relationship between Tel Aviv and Bonn appears to be changing. No European nation has closer ties with Israel than does the Federal Republic, which long ago established a "special relationship" with the Jewish state. In compensation for the horrors of the Holocaust, the West German government has paid reparations to Jews of more than $20 billion, including $800 million to Israel itself. Recently Bonn took the lead in Common Market deliberations...
