After three years of staggering losses that have earned it the dubious distinction of No. 1 money loser in West Germany, Salzgitter AG, the government-owned steel giant slumbering in the strip next to the East German border, is going to be shaken up. A plan approved by the Bonn Cabinet foresees mergers of its component parts with private industry and, if need be, the shutdown of unprofitable plants.

He had little in common with history's successful assassins. He was no envious leftist loser and loner like Lee Harvey Oswald, no anarchist fanatic like Czolgosz (the man who killed President McKinley), no tribal desperado like Princip (who shot Archduke Ferdinand and brought on World War I).
