...first some West German officials, like other U.S. allies, believed the evidence to be indicative rather than conclusive. By week's end Chancellor Helmut Kohl declared at a press conference that "the attack also had a Libyan background." But he took care to add, "Please note that I said 'also,' and not 'only.' " German intelligence officials explained that they had been shown what seemed to be only partial transcripts of the Libyan messages intercepted by the U.S. Those summaries, they said, certainly pointed to some Libyan involvement but did not quite prove that Gaddafi had planned and ordered the attack...
...overseas business they have lost, and many foreign companies may hold on to their American customers. "We've got a foothold in the U.S. market now, and it won't be so easy to displace us as the Americans think," notes a top adviser to West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. "German products still appeal at these prices." M.I.T. Economist Paul Krugman believes it will take at least a year for the drop in the dollar to % have "a significant impact" on the trade balance. That view is shared by Rimmer de Vries, chief international economist for Morgan Guaranty Trust...
...last week West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and ten other Christian Democratic leaders protested the award for Chazov. Reason: in 1973 Chazov, along with 24 other members of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, signed a letter against Sakharov that the protesters say initiated the campaign of persecution against him.

...School doctor Bernard Lown. He's receiving the Nobel Peace Prize today in Sweden, and probably nothing so far in his distinguished life has given him so much unexpected grief. He's been called naive by Reagan Administration officials; his credibility has been challenged by West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, and he's had to answer endless questions about how far in cahoots his Soviet counterpart, Dr. Evgueni I. Chazov, really is with the Kremlin bosses. And all along he's patiently repeated over and over again the leitmotif of his group, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear...
...this last sentiment which really epitomizes ISD. It was made in response to the Kohl objection, consigned by several other European conservative party leaders, to IPPNW's selection for the Prize. These politicians objected because Dr. Chazov signed a statement in the '70s denouncing Andrei Sakharov for "anti-Soviet" activities. Dr. Lown has steadfastly refused to answer questions directly about his counterpart's role in this matter and other political activities; instead he has given several variations on the theme of "that's beside the point...
