Last week West Germany's foreign policy troubleshooter Egon Bahr, newly named Minister for Special Tasks, arrived in East Berlin to sign the basic treaty providing for formal diplomatic relations between the two states. He was whisked by fast car from Schönefeld Airport to the Council of Ministers building for a hasty signing ceremony with East German State Secretary Michael Kohl. The event was carried live on West German television but not on Eastern broadcasts...
