...apart from that, the minister doesn't have much of a proven track record in economic issues. "Mr Guttenberg's biggest challenge is how to develop concepts to deal with the recession.

"Mr Guttenberg is a good PR man - he's not an economic policy expert. The minister will have to decide what to do with the ongoing economic crisis and he's bound to come under growing pressure to introduce another fiscal stimulus package...

The studio proper is littered with contorted steel tubes, cutting, bending and welding equipment, and an acetylene torch with its hoses and tanks...
...older brothers had already been killed. As a student at Berlin's Academy of Fine Arts after the war, he was a disciple of Rodin, but Kricke's independence of mind soon asserted itself to make him unpopular with his academic teachers. He moved to Duesseldorf because ''it has a certain dynamism, factories going up every day," and began the independent career that led him to decisively abstract sculpture. Kricke's steel constructions have since made him an international figure, with works in German, French, Belgian, English and American museums. Four of his pieces stole...
