...government officials promised an array of moves designed to end the violence against foreigners. Among the initiatives are plans to expand surveillance and to ban extremist groups and even the racist music used to spread the xenophobic message. After two years in which the radicals claimed 3,400 attacks, Bonn is battered by charges that it has been halfhearted at best in its efforts to clamp down on the far right...

The decision to push for a constitutional amendment to stem...
...Clinton's second strategy might be to impose a "presumptive tax" of some sort, possibly a minimum levy on the total sales -- rather than profits -- of foreign companies in the U.S. But that kind of policy could backfire mightily. Germany has declared that if Clinton imposes such new taxation, Bonn will retaliate against local subsidiaries of American firms. With global trade tensions already at a fever pitch and foreign companies increasingly unhappy with conditions in the U.S., any further discouragement of outside capital might cause real harm to American economic growth.
