...Franz Josef Strauss, 51, the powerful Bavarian leader who was forced to resign as Defense Minister in a 1962 scandal after ordering the arrest of several staffers of the newsmagazine Der Spiegel on flimsy charges of treason. Strauss was the key man in selecting Kiesinger as the Christian Democrats' candidate for Chancellor, will make his comeback as Minister of Finance in the new government. The other is Gerhard Schroder, 56, who moved from his post as Foreign Minister under Erhard to take on the controversial and besieged position of Defense Minister. Strauss is a Catholic and a Gaullist who blames...
...Francisco's Josef Krips did not care if they were 60 or 16; he was an antifeminist for years, only recently claimed conversion when he hired a trio of "wonderful girls who play like angels."

Another was that he fitted the C.D.U.'s concept of a candidate by being not too Gaullist to alienate the party's Atlanticists and not too Catholic to offend the Protestants...
...very idea would be enough to set Clausewitz cackling in his grave. Yet last week unionization of the West German army was proceeding apace-with the approval of both Bonn and the Bundeswehr. At a meeting with West German labor leaders in Baden this month, Army Inspector General Josef Moll put his blessing on the union. "My presence," he declared, "proves to you that we generals recognize the constitutional right of soldiers to organize in labor unions...
