...coverage has been unfair." Vanishing was the hope that the storm would subside before Reagan leaves April 30 on a ten-day trip to Europe. He will make appearances in Germany before and after the annual economic summit of the seven major industrialized democracies (May 2 to 4 in Bonn), visit Spain and Portugal, and address the European Parliament in Strasbourg...
...schadenfreude is pleasure at the discomfort of others, then what is discomfort at the pleasure of others? Freudenschmerz? Maleuphorie? Many Europeans seemed to acknowledge the success of the vote only grudgingly - perhaps because the media had prepared them only for the worst. Roland Schatz, head of Medien Tenor, a Bonn-based institute for international media analysis, studied a broad sample of outlets and found that only about 5% of reports took a positive stance on the election's legitimacy; around 36% treated it negatively. Schatz found that leading Arab TV stations were overwhelmingly positive about the election's legitimacy. "Europe...
...love it that the King just topped the British singles chart for the 19th time - with a rerelease of Jailhouse Rock, timed to what would have been his 70th birthday. (RCA is rereleasing all of Elvis' U.K. No. 1 hits.) The celebration is also taking place in Germany, where Bonn's Haus der Geschichte has mounted a show about Elvis' 1958-60 tour of duty as a U.S. soldier in the Hessen town of Friedberg . Some 300 items will be on display through Feb. 27, from Presley's scuffed Army jacket (filched by a fan from his Loh and Behold...

About two years ago, Hürter says, many of her schoolmates started looking askance at her short hairstyle and nondescript outfits. But last winter, the situation escalated. Two girls in her class began to ridicule and bad-mouth her, saying she looked like a boy and calling her a nerd. They tripped her up, took her pens, and eventually resorted to hiding and damaging her backpack...
Though she has been sightless since the age of 12, Sabriye Tenberken has never lost her vision. She sees the needs of those who share her disability. In the late 1990s, the Bonn native, who was blinded by a congenital degenerative retinal disease, studied for a master's degree in Tibetology in her hometown. But there was no Braille alphabet for the 42 syllable characters of that complex Asian language, so she developed one - in just two weeks. "It was a matter of necessity," she explains. "I had picked Tibet as the country where I later wanted to do development...
