...Adenauer finally decided to resign as Chancellor and toyed with the idea of taking the ceremonial post of federal President, Barzel prematurely backed Der Alte for the job before the old man had made up his mind (Adenauer never took the presidency). At the same time, Barzel pushed Ludwig Erhard as Chancellor, although Adenauer, who remained party chairman, did not want Erhard to succeed him. In his greatest miscalculation, Barzel backed himself as a Chancellor candidate inside the party in 1966-and finished a poor third in a field of three...

Milch organized flying schools and glider clubs during the period in which Germany was barred by treaty from having an air force. He also became managing director of Lufthansa during the '20s.

Most interesting is the space designed by Franz Erhard Walther, where anybody who comes along is invited to climb into, sit on or play with various canvas objects. This goes on under the guidance of the artist himself, who declares that he is exploring the psychology of personal space and activity...
...party, runs I.O.S. operations in Germany (where the company makes nearly 40% of its sales). Sweden's Count Carl Johan Bernadotte and Britain's Sir Eric Wyndham White, the former head of tariff-writing GATT, sit on I.O.S.'s board of directors. Former German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard spurned Cornfeld's overtures, and now heads a rival mutual fund, but no less a personage than German Economics Minister Karl Schiller turned up as the main speaker last month at a pep rally for Bernie's German salesmen...
