...lesson was administered principally by a member of Adenauer's own Christian Democratic Party, Richard Jaeger, 42, chairman of the Bundestag's Security Committee.

Rudolph Jaeger, are often too feeble for radical surgery, and lose their faith in doctors because most medical treatments give only short-lived relief. Under light general anesthesia, a needle is pushed through the cheek to the base of the skull, the surgeon following it by X ray. When it hits the Gasserian ganglion, he injects scalding water...
