...With hands that are calloused from bricklaying yet adept at painting, Georg Leber, 42, chairman of West Germany's 450,000-man construction workers' union, recently signed a labor contract new in German industry. Instead of the usual one-year term and flat wage increase, it runs two years and pegs wage rises to estimated growth in national product and the cost of living. Other German unions are howling about the potential loss of bargaining power, but Leber's own well-paid workers seem happy. Leber, a Social Democratic Deputy, brings to labor relations a new style...
...Inflationary Swamp. After many years of remarkable self-restraint, West German unions have picked up the chant of Construction Workers Chief Georg Leber: "Get all you can."

Others, like Fetter Moen, an Oslo insurance man who, at 43, found...
...Only Lesson. Men & women like Annedore Leber may expect (at best) to be under arrest within 48 hours of any Western evacuation of Berlin. Until that day comes-if it does-they can continue battling to show the Russians that their Nervenkrieg has been far from an unqualified success-and to remind the Western powers that they are defending in Berlin something more than just 150,000 acres of this debris-laden Brandenburg plain. Is there anything else they...
