Actually, the West Germans have done far more than that. Despite disclaimers by Bonn, the Treaty of Moscow in effect represents nothing less than a peace treaty between West Germany and Russia. In the aftermath of defeat in World War II, the conquering powers sundered Germany, drawing the demarcation of the cold war's battle line through the heart of the beaten country. While West Germany became a part of the Western defense and economic system and made, in effect, a separate peace with the Western Allies, Bonn's relations with the East bloc remained in a state...
...another skull dug up almost a century later? Scientists from the Friedrich Schiller Code research project are now determined to find out. They will compare dna taken from the two skulls with dna from the skeleton of Schiller's second son, Ernst Friedrich Wilhelm, who was exhumed in Bonn on July 19.

Omniquest chief Falk Böhmer attributed the law-and-order stance to young Germans "seeking support and comfort in family, friends and relationships - things that...
...support U.S. measures against state-sponsored terrorism, notably the American bombing raids on Libya last April. In light of Reagan's willingness to trade weapons for Iranian help in securing the release of U.S. hostages, it will be more difficult to ask for cooperation in the future. Editorialized Bonn's General-Anzeiger: "It will take a long time before the leading power in the West can credibly champion the stringency of joint standards for combating terrorism...
