...sure, the C.S.U. delegates gave him an overwhelming mandate, 643 out of 705 ballots. But that was because Strauss's fellow C.S.U. leaders did not want to rock the boat in an election year. Privately, they are furious with him over his continuing feud with Hamburg's Spiegel. The fault is not entirely his. Spiegel's publisher, Rudolf Augstein, worried that a good C.S.U. showing next fall might land the former Defense Minister back in the Cabinet, has hammered ceaselessly at Strauss's alleged "corruption" in office, until Strauss retaliated last summer with a libel suit...
...devil and I'm not a saint. I am a human being with all his contradictions," he told the applauding delegates. Clannish Bavarians, who regard Hamburg publishers as hardly civilized interlopers from the north, may well respond by giving the local boy a handsome mandate in September's elections...
This week Soviet shipping and trade enter what the Russians hope will be a new era.

The line, estimates the artist, only got to be 20 miles long...
...pastor's latest blastled a government spokesman to suggest that it would be wiser to ignore the thoughts of a man "who cannot always distinguish clearly between realities and fantasies." Hannover's Lutheran Bishop Hanns Lilje called ballot invalidation "a mistaken means of striving for peace." Hamburg Theologian-Preacher Helmut Thielicke said: "Niemöller is a typical German, who has no sense for compromise." But German church leaders, though embarrassed by Niemöller's political views, have never moved to depose him because of his international prestige. At 73, he has retired from...
