...reunification, the U.S. has been hampered in securing it by the West's adamant attitude against recognition of East Germany. The Soviet-East German position on reunification is that it can come about only through a "confederation" of two sovereign Germanys. The concept may sound farfetched to the casual observer, but in fact there is already considerable administrative cooperation between the two Germanys in communications, transportation and trade-a cooperation that is never spoken of publicly...
...uses it here for potshots and heavy artillery in a marital Armageddon. His chief combatants are a pair of matched failures: George is an ineffectual, hagridden history professor; his wife Martha is the university president's daughter-a bitchy, aging man-eater with a father fixation and a casual lust for younger chaps.

In Alabama, Lurleen Wallace is facing an increasingly liberal Attorney-General Richmond Flowers. In contrast, it is impossible to find such differences between the two Democrat Senatorial candidates in Michigan, former (1949-1960) Governor G. Mennen Williams and Detroit's Mayor Jerome...
...Initiative. Gronouski, the grandson of a Polish immigrant and a former university economics professor, has turned into an effective, if somewhat unconventional, diplomat. He pumps Polish hands, kisses Polish babies, stalks the streets of Warsaw in his cocked grey astrakhan, gabs with Polish waiters at embassy cocktail parties. That casual curiosity stood Gronouski in good stead during his Eastern European swing. The first stop was Rumania, the most independent of the former Soviet satellites and the most eager for U.S. trade (TIME cover, March...
