...gets kind of gross after that. All of the restaurants in the Bahamas are lousy, so you'll probably wind up eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken all the time. If you do, remember that "breast" means "scrappy piece of cartilage and bone" in the Bahamas. Try the word "kiel" instead...
...more certain project for the moment is the Hamburg-Hannover line, which the West German government committed itself to building last June, with operation scheduled for the mid-1990s. The track is planned as the first segment of a 600-mile Kiel-Munich line, but not all systems are go yet. Some politicians and many citizens remain unconvinced that the $1.8 billion needed for the first segment will be money well spent, especially with $1.35 billion already allocated for a high-speed conventional-railway project called the Inter-City Experimental. Transrapid supporters, however, do not think the choice between conventional...
Among the countries hit hardest is West Germany, whose GNP actually declined at a .5% annual rate in the first quarter of the year. Nonetheless, Herbert Giersch, an economist at the University of Kiel, predicted that more stimulative government policies would push the growth rate to 2% for 1987 as a whole. The outlook may be bleaker for France, which is heavily dependent on such exports as aircraft and telecommunications equipment. Said Economics Professor Jean-Marie Chevalier, of the University of Paris Nord, who predicted a 1.3% growth rate this year for his country: "There is now a mood...

To prevent damage to NATO-Warsaw Pact relations, Bonn described the attack as an accident, perhaps caused by the poor aim of Polish gunners. Warsaw began an investigation into the occurrence...
WEST GERMANY. Since inflation has at least momentarily disappeared in West Germany (prices actually fell by 1% in 1986), many economists believe the $ Germans have plenty of latitude to try to boost their 2.75% growth rate. Herbert Giersch, director of the Institute of World Economics at the University of Kiel, suggested that Bonn should bring forward tax cuts now planned for January 1988. Such stimulus is needed, he said, because a rising mark could play havoc with West Germany's export industries. Giersch predicted that the country would be lucky to achieve a 2.5% growth rate...
