...Schmidt sighed, lifted an eyebrow and paused-gestures clearly belying his answer: "They are very good." When Carter claimed on the eve of his trip that his schedule would not permit his acceptance of Schmidt's invitation to dine with him at the Chancellor's home in Hamburg, Schmidt was livid. "It's insulting," he told aides. "But what else could one expect, I suppose." Calming, he asked: "Am I overreacting?" Nobody said...
...stem directly from German initiative and French endorsement. The centerpiece of the discussions was the new European monetary system, a Schmidt brainchild first brought up at a Community summit at Copenhagen last April and approved in principle by Giscard at a meeting with the West German leader in Hamburg two weeks...

With European Steinways made in Hamburg, and Bechstein, another grand old veteran, based in Berlin, the Bösendorfer is part of a tiny musical elite: what aficionados consider the triumvirate of pianistic excellence.

Quiet, thin, dressed in a conservative pinstriped suit, Kurt Groenewold hardly looks the part of a firebrand lawyer who would conspire with West German terrorists to bring down the state. But Groenewold is now on trial himself in a Hamburg courtroom for "supporting a criminal organization" and furthering the plots of the notorious Baader-Meinhof gang, which has wreaked havoc in West Germany for a decade. As Groenewold nervously shuffles papers, his own lawyer politely debates procedural points with the prosecutors. No one shouts obscenities; the tone is orderly and low-key, punctuated only by an occasional muffled cheer from...
