...government regards with concern the massive and hitherto unprecedented manner in which the Soviet Union is interfering in the election campaign and the internal politics of the Federal Republic of Germany." That unusually tough declaration came late last week from Jürgen Sudhoff, a spokesman for Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic coalition. The reason for the outburst: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko's appeal to West Europeans to show "political maturity" by disavowing the U.S. bargaining position at the Geneva talks on intermediate-range missiles. The Soviet statement was seen as a blatant boost for Hans...
...major candidates have proposed sharply contrasting remedies. Since taking office last October after the collapse of Social Democratic Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's coalition, Kohl has tried to trim the federal deficit (projected at $18.5 billion for 1983) while offering tax incentives to spur new investment.

University of California at Los Angeles Chancellor Charles E. Young expects the ACE to have a recruiting proposal ready by November. "I believe there's a general feeling on the part of those on the committee that recruiting is too much pressure and that there's too much time involved." Young says...
...black, red and yellow West German flags fluttered amid the crowded banks of seats in the concrete-and-glass stadium in the Baltic port of Kiel. The odors of steaming sausage and green pea soup wafted from giant kettles in the corridors. Through the cheerful melee strode West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, 52, shaking hands and exchanging greetings with some of the 6,000 supporters in attendance. From the podium, Kohl catalogued a variety of traditional conservative remedies for the social and economic ills of West Germany that arose, he said, during the rule of his Social Democratic predecessors, Willy...
