...thaw between Bonn and East Berlin this year has contrasted with the deepening chill between the superpowers. Honecker has seemed intent on pursuing detente despite the U.S.-Soviet deadlock. An unprecedented number of political and cultural delegations have exchanged visits across a barbed-wire border that was virtually impenetrable. So far this year, West German banks have extended credits, backed by Bonn, totaling $330 million to East Germany, which, in turn, has eased some restrictions on travel and allowed more than 30,000 of its citizens to emigrate to the West.

At the Olympic trials in June, taped as tautly and poignantly as Mickey Mantle, she won the 100 but could...
...Communist Party Leader Erich Honecker has also proceeded with plans to visit West Germany next month, and will be the first East German leader ever to do so. East Germany's desire to maintain its relations with the West in spite of the Soviet-U.S. chill is shared in varying degrees by Hungary, which argued in favor of better economic relations with the West at the Soviet-bloc economic summit in Moscow last June, and Rumania, which did not follow the Soviet boycott of the Los Angeles Olympics...
