...grace of God"? How can he justify the murder of innocent people in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam--women, children, men, some of them probably Muslim. Of course he cannot. This unmasks him as the kind of leader he really is--a bloody, murderous terrorist. WILLIBALD SONTAG Koblenz, Germany...
...standstill and kept the Bundeswehr busy deploying rescue teams in rubber dinghies. Waters lapped at the doors of Bonn's new parliament building, and smaller sections of Frankfurt were also overrun. Shipping was suspended entirely along the lower reaches of the Rhine, the world's busiest inland waterway. In Koblenz the river rose to 9.27 m and surrounded the newly restored bronze statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I. The Emperor's bronze likeness appeared to be riding a sea horse...

German health officials tracing some unexplained cases of HIV infection examined the records of a small blood- supply company in Koblenz last month and noticed a startling discrepancy. UB Plasma had sold 7,000 units of blood since 1992 but had purchased only 2,500 kits to screen for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

As good as his word, Ovett flashed across the tape...
...such major cities as Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich in order to tour what he called l'Allemagne profonde (Germany in depth). His stops included Baden-Baden, Kassel, Würzburg and Lübeck, all towns with populations under 230,000. He also made an unscheduled visit to Koblenz, 40 miles south of Bonn, where he was born in 1926; his father was a civilian official with French forces occupying the Rhineland. Often looking more populist than patrician, the spindly French President plunged into the crowds, delighting them with a spate of French-accented German phrases...
