Known as melioidosis, it was first discovered in Southeast Asia in 1911, but it is practically brand-new to Americans.

A gracious host and, like most Swabians, a lover of wine, he soon turned Stuttgart into a far more sparkling city than the dour federal capital of Bonn. He built schools, roads, hospitals, and opened a brand-new university. Says Kiesinger: "I wanted to show Bonn that I could govern." At the same time, he enjoyed the life of a country squire. In the more relaxed world of provincial politics, Kiesinger had time for hikes through the Black Forest, for evenings with his family, and for his books...
