Youngest and toughest member of Adenauer's Cabinet, Strauss is a man most Germans expect will surely rule Germany some day. He looks as German as a stein of beer.

...Army Medical Service added an important contribution. The Pentagon this week announced development of a suitcase-sized, portable X-ray unit that weighs only 85 Ibs.
