Delighted at having drawn blood, Group 47's leader, Author and Film-Maker Hans Werner Richter, chortled that the "Chancellor's lack of self-control is shocking." "Embarrassing, embarrassing," clucked Writer Heinrich Boll. Der Dicke was unrepentant, but political aides with an eye out for his electoral image prevailed on the Chancellor to issue a clarification. A spokesman declared that Erhard's statements did not mean that he "disassociates himself from novelists and writers or the world of intellect as such," but were only a criticism of "polemic campaign contributions and direct attacks...
...Bones About It. Behind this Triumph is Executive Director Herbert Braun, 55, a shy and ascetic "Herr Doktor" (economics and social sciences), who seized the hardly new idea that bras and girdles should be attractive as well as functional.

One is romanticism, the antirational worship of Wagnerian life and death of which Nazism represented a cancerous acceleration. The Hitler regime was romantic, even idealistic, in a perverted way; as Heinrich Heine said, "We Germans are idealists even when we hate." The other, and contradictory, quality is an alarming literal-mindedness, which made it possible even for many educated Germans to absorb and act on Nazism's pseudo science; other people have accepted crackpot theories about inferior races, but, unlike...
