In search of a campaign issue in next September's national elections, the Free Democratic Party-which has shucked its old conservative image for a daring almost New Left look -has already declared that it favors recognition of East Germany. Last week, in a slightly hedged manner, Willy Brandt's Social Democrats also came out in favor of recognizing the existence of the other Germany...

Encountering Ethel at one point during the campaign, McCarthy...
Burke emphasized that students were petitioning as members of the department, rather than as outsiders who wanted to disrupt. "When we started out, some of us had at least identified with the department--we didn't want to disrupt it," he said. Burke said that some people are in favor of boycotting the essay now, but that circulars sent out from the department in the past week have stressed that the essay counts for one half of the yearly grade...
