Both Kohl and his host, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, behaved with great delicacy. Like an earlier West German Chancellor, Willy Brandt, who visited Israel in 1973, Kohl went first to the Yad Vashem memorial, Israel's monument to the victims of the Holocaust. As a girls' choir sang - and a cantor offered a prayer "for the dead, Kohl laid a wreath beside the eternal flame. At a dinner that evening, Shamir told his guest, "We are not prisoners of the past.

While the socialists of Italy and France repeat the lessons of deterrence...
...that the political equilibrium would be enduringly disturbed if the Soviet Union forged ahead with its unprovoked, one-sided buildup." The speech received only perfunctory applause. Said a delegate: "We see his voice as a voice of the party's past."
