...Gaulle might be deposed while absent from the country. In settling the insurrection and the general strike, the government had to accept sizable wage increases; all of this had caused panic among the middle classes, and francs were speedily converted to gold or other currencies-most often West German marks. The fabled gold reserves were depleted in defending the franc...
This analysis accompanies a leisurely executed polemic against student movements of whatever ideological flavor as they emerged throughout history. In all the major student movements documented by Feuer--the German, the Bosnian, the Russian, the Japanese, the Chinese, the French, the American--the original generosity and sacrifice for ideals ended up as criminal elitism in which the end justified any means: assassinations, thievery, strikes, destruction of property, and a heavy youth-weighted rate of suicide...
...States. The attitudes could have an important effect. The recognition issue might strengthen the bridge between the Free Democrats and Socialists, whose joint action in electing a new West German President two months ago signaled a willingness to work together. Already the issue has begun to cause friction in the Grand Coalition between the Socialists and their senior partners, the Christian Democrats. The extent of the disagreement is likely to become more evident this week when the Bundestag opens a debate on the East German question. The Free Democrats, whose 49 Deputies constitute the only opposition in the Bundestag...
...Assurance. According to confidential government polls, 51% of West German voters still feel much the same way (v. 29% in favor of recognition and 20% undecided).

Much as he would love full recognition for his regime, Ulbricht fears that a closer relationship with his free...
Some years ago, your ilk might have tried to abolish a seminar in the works of Oscar Wilde. During the World Wars, they tried to bar the teaching of German language and literature, and have since made sporadic attacks on Russian and Chinese studies. Perhaps French will be next, or Spanish; and how about criminology or police science? They too serve a "policy opposed by a sizable element of the population," and the Fletcher School at Tufts feeds its graduates to the "expansionist foreign policy" you abhor...
