Quips one political observer in Bonn: "If Iranscam were ever replayed here, the odds are that the Germans would be more scandalized by the missing millions and the sloppy accounting than the arms transactions...

Under terms of a 1978 U.S.-West German extradition treaty, Bonn will not extradite suspects who would face the death penalty in an American court for the crime involved.

...Yuletide season gets under way, shoppers from Bonn to Boston to Buenos Aires can already hear carols resounding through stores. Some salesclerks, however, may find the ceaseless piped-in tunes too much of a good thing. In Linz, Austria, suffering department-store workers have sought their union's help.
