...choice. The cost of living went up 4.5% during the twelve months that ended in April. Spending by government, both federal and state, was bloated by 12% in 1965, much more than the still substantial growth of 8.4% in the gross national product. Erhard himself has been booed by coal miners in the Ruhr, whose industry is threatened by the Europe-wide revolution in oil, natural gas and atomic energy. The coal malaise has spread to steel-partly because the steel companies themselves produce 40% of West German coal-with the result that Krupp and other producers have begun...
...locale was North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state in West Germany and, with its vast Rhine-Ruhr coal-and-steel complex, the industrial heartland of the nation. The state's 17 million inhabitants represent fully a third of the West German electorate, and exercise a political power that in U.S. terms would equal California's and New York's combined. Heavily Catholic, the region has traditionally given wide majorities to Erhard's Christian Democratic Union. Hence the surprise last week when, in the state's first election since 1962, Willy Brandt's Social...
Kumpel Chorus. For one thing, the Socialists won wide sympathy with their proposed speakers' exchange with East Germany on the question of reunification. Perhaps more important was the record oversupply of 21 million tons of coal, which stands in ominous black mountains from Bottrop to Bochum.

Add to that the perennial German fear of inflation, and the fact that living costs rose 4.4% in the past year, and the stage...
When Nurse Susan Stearly, 28, drove her '64 Valiant into the southern Colorado town of Trinidad, she knew that she was taking on a tough case. Trinidad, once a covered-wagon depot and later a bustling coal-mining center, has become the core of a "depressed area," and Nurse Stearly was there to deal with one of its most depressing problems: the appalling lack of medical care for thousands of indigents, and especially for their children. In all of the 4,800 square miles of Las Animas County, of which Trinidad is the seat, there are just seven doctors...
...recent speech before the American Society of International Law, Ball traced the "persistent rivalry among the individual nation-states of Europe" through three centuries of war, then recapitulated the U.S.-inspired moves toward Western European and Atlantic unity since World War II: the Schuman Plan and the Coal and Steel Community, the European Defense Community and NATO, the Treaty of Rome and the Common Market. "This then," he said, "was the prospect in the early part of the 1960s-a Europe making massive strides toward unity with the strong prospect that its geographical boundaries would be expanded to include...
