"If it hadn't been for me, these louts and hoot owls would have rotted in their diapers. Never have I seen so much stupidity, impudence and meanness in one heap." It was hardly the way to handle angry workers, and it was probably no coincidence that Gelsenkirchen voters turned more powerfully against the C.D.U. on election night than did any other town.
