...authorities were involved in the bombing. At week's end Bonn had not decided what action it would take in the event of proof of Syrian complicity, though a source close to the government said a complete severing of ties with Syria would be unlikely. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Cabinet is divided over the question of what it might do, and Kohl is still considering his position...
Such comments have a tinge of self-interest: the British, West German and Japanese governments have all signed up to participate in Star Wars research. But European leaders like West Germany's Helmut Kohl have other reasons to be glad that the final package was rejected.

With the help of a few tips from...
...steel and Krugerrands, as proposed at a summit in the Hague three months ago. But the foreign ministers rejected the most serious proposal of all, a ban on the import of South African coal, as a result of strenuous opposition from the West German government of Chancellor Helmut Kohl. That decision effectively reduced by two-thirds the impact of measures considered at the meeting...
