...Schröder's Political Future As a German and an avid supporter of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder [June 6], I believe he has been a stellar head of government from the day he took office. Always aware of Germany's past and its responsibility to the future yet never losing sight of the social and economic challenges his country faces, Schröder has followed in the footsteps of the greatest statesman Germany ever had, Willy Brandt. Underestimated at home as well as abroad, Schröder legalized gay marriage, eased immigration laws, inaugurated an impressive (and long...
...Normally, Germans are a sedate and patient people. It took 16 years to get sick of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, but here we are, already tired of Schröder after seven years.

...Soviet p.r. offensive, which seemed aimed primarily at European newsmen, drew mixed reviews. "I have never seen this before," marveled Marcella van der Wiel, a reporter for Amsterdam's De Telegraaf. "The Soviets ask how they can help you." Yet most journalists saw a change only in tone, not in message. ''Sure, it is being presented more intelligently," said Jacques Amalric of Paris' Le Monde. "But it is the same old speech...
