...relatively well-to-do a bigger break than the relatively hardup? Theoretically, such an approach might be just what is needed. Politically, it might prove a bad gamble. Labor was quick to alert Britons to the implications of the cutbacks. "It is a budget for strengthening inequality," said ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Jenkins. Former Prime Minister Harold Wilson touched an even more sensitive nerve. He charged that Barber had created a "two-nations" budget, recalling Disraeli's famous label for the Britain of haves and havenots...
...articles and speeches, Grass has consistently attacked former members of the Nazi Party, including ex-Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger and ex-Defense Minister Franz-Josef Strauss. In Cat and Mouse (1961), a nearly flawless small novel about German teenagers during World War II, Grass openly made fun of the Iron Cross?by having his hero dangle it in front of his genitals.

Though Bonn privately expects the withdrawal of perhaps three American divisions this year, Brandt, as Foreign Minister of an energetic new regime, was not about to concede anything before...
...caucus, was now maneuvering to isolate Erhard from any remaining support. About the only Erhard enemy not on the scene was flinty old (90) Konrad Adenauer. Though he had sniped mercilessly at Erhard almost from the day in 1963 that he handed the job over to him, the ex-Chancellor was strangely quiet, presumably recovering from the effects of a bad cold...
