"Special interests," to the federal chancellor, means not only unions, employers, farmers and refugee organizations but also individual cities and states (Lander). To assist in the creation of a harmonious society, he urged the creation of a single "German communal fund," to be financed jointly by tax receipts of state and federal governments equal to 1% of the gross national product...

Bed-lamp shades are plastic copies of the feathered helmets kings once wore, bathroom basins consist of giant clamshells, and guests are called to meals by a leather-lunged islander blowing into a conch shell. Another Gus-lander development, the 22-month-old Hanalei Plantation, is situated on a promontory that was used as the set for the movie of South Pacific. It is designed for couples who will shell out $50 a day and be satisfied at night with entertainment no more boisterous than a book...
