Brandt came from humble beginnings. He was born Herbert Frahm in Lubeck in 1913, the son of an unmarried shop clerk, and reared largely by his maternal grandfather, a truck driver, farm laborer and ardent socialist. The grandson took on the grandfather's political colors and, while still in his mid-teens, wrote for Der Volksbote (the People's Messenger), the local Social Democratic Party paper; in 1930, not yet 17, he joined the party.

Being irrationally terrified of all state officials--especially traffic cops and driver's license examiners--I wanted to avoid the whole towing fiasco. So on Wednesday, I woke up early to move my car because I knew it was street cleaning day. My car was parked behind the Quad (where they don't ticket you every five minutes, just every third day) on the Fourth-Wednesday-of-the-Month side; drawing on my proficiency in math, I had figured out that the fourth Wednesday had come...
