...tackle labor-market restrictions that can make hiring in Germany prohibitively expensive, but which the spd and unions still support. "The coalition will be a success if we get two good years in which they deal with federalism, tax reform, health-care reform and pensions," says Michael Burda, an economist at Humboldt University in Berlin.

...deal to allow Burda to appear four times a year in the Soviet Union was struck last May as part of Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign to upgrade the quality of Soviet life. Part of the magazine's expected appeal is that it publishes sewing patterns of its fashion offerings, which Soviet homemakers will be able to copy. Another factor that probably found favor with Moscow's officialdom is that Burda shuns articles on sex and politics, traditional Soviet taboos. At first the new Burda edition will be printed in West Germany, but the plan is to begin printing in Moscow...
