...American 12-member delegation, organized by the National Academy of Sciences, also included two other Harvard scholars: Richard L. Garwin of the Center for Science and International Affairs and David Hamburg, professor of Health Policy and Management at the Kennedy School of Government...
...peace was short-lived. After the S.P.D. lost local elections in Lower Saxony and Hamburg, F.D.P. leaders began to give more serious consideration to the idea of shifting their support to the Christian Democrats in Bonn. Though the Free Democrats received 10.6% of the vote in the 1980 parliamentary elections, their great fear was that the S.P.D.'s declining fortunes would eventually rub off on their own party.

While the Social Democrats have been losing followers throughout the country, especially among disenchanted...
...federal government with the Social Democrats and go into alliance with the Christian Democrats, also leaving Schmidt in the lurch. Already, in preparing for next September's election in the state of Hesse, the Free Democrats are actively considering running in partnership with the Christian Democrats. Meanwhile, the Hamburg election has left the city-state without a government, since neither the Social Democrats nor the Christian Democrats have a majority, and neither group is eager to form an alliance with the Greens-Alternative List...
