Brandt hopes to impress his status-conscious fellow Germans with his role as a world statesman by playing host to the great and famous at the Munich summer Olympics. In addition, Brandt would like to star at an October summit that would chart the Ten's course according to his vision of a strong united Europe that would work in close harmony with the U.S. This would help him allay the suspicions of many West German voters that his Ostpolitik has made the country too susceptible to pressures from the East bloc...

The fragmentation makes it risky to attempt a simple chart of the Burger Court's political or intellectual course, but some of its trends are becoming clear...

The tape is fed into a machine that measures muscular micro-tremors in the voice, faint quivers that come from the muscles in the voice box and cause slight changes in pitch. Changes are not detectable by ear, but they can be traced on a chart by a pen linked to the machine. It is the capacity to detect and reproduce these tremors-apparently produced by the freely undulating throat muscles of a relaxed speaker-that gives the P.S.E. its awesome powers. For the throat muscles of a person under stress are so tense that they...
