...that point, of course, the oppressed minority becomes an oppressive minority-and there is no escape. The Italian Americans dare make no jokes about homosexuals; the p.r. men for the Gay Liberation Front have their stationery drawn and ready. And if the G.L.F. knows what is good for it, it will make no nasty cracks about those Oriental actors who recently accused Broadway of discriminating against them...

Indeed, he may not even dare submit them to the Bundestag for approval. Should that happen, Brandt's hopeful initiatives for peaceful relations with his Communist neighbors would only have made matters worse. The Soviets have made it clear that Bonn's failure to accept the Brandt treaties would chill the political climate...
