Short of summoning the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to belt out the Horst Wessel Song in the Hollywood Bowl, the museum has spared no efforts to sample the culture of the time as vividly as possible for an audience to whom the Third Reich is, at most, a remote and unwelcome memory. And the catalog, with its essays by Barron and other hands, German scholars as well as American ones, is certain to remain the definitive study of Nazi cultural repression for many years to come...

Ueberroth has already staunched Adidas' U.S. losses, and in May he flew to Paris for a first meeting with Tapie. Ueberroth said last week he was "impressed with Tapie's global vision" and ability to give slipping companies new energy...
...Soviets, along with formal negotiations. At last month's Two-plus-Four negotiations -- the unification talks involving the two Germanys and the four Allied victors of World War II -- Kohl huddled with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. In the most dramatic move, Kohl's top foreign policy adviser, Horst Teltschik, was dispatched to Moscow last month for consultations -- a trip that Kohl tried to keep secret not only from Washington but also from Genscher, a sometime political rival...
