Chancellor Ludwig Erhard kept himself and his C.D.U. loftily above party battles. "Ach ja," he deadpanned at the end of one speech, "I almost forgot, you're having an election here soon." Erhard accurately counted on his immense popularity as architect of Germany's economic miracle. "Shall I tell you what I have achieved?" he asked complacently. "I wouldn't think of it.
