Bypassing Ulbricht. Kiesinger's words represent quite a switch in Bonn policy, which up to now has barred normal diplomatic relations with the East-bloc countries until they first consent to German reunification.

As temporal head of the Church of England, the Queen can hardly be expected to give her happy consent to the marriage of a divorced earl and a woman who is her self a divorcee. Happily, however, the question may not be put to her. There is another way out: the earl and his lady may marry without royal consent if he first informs the Privy Council of his intentions, then waits one year. Or the earl may follow the example of George III's own sons, marry...
