...Cabinet adopted the Socialist view, a revolt broke out in the ranks of the Chris tian Democrats. It was led by Finance Minister Franz Josef Strauss's Bavarian branch of the party. The Bavarians, who argue that it is time to restrict the search for war criminals to major offenders, demanded a so-called "differentiated approach." It would treat the criminals who gave the orders for genocide and massacres far more severely than those who carried them out or were involved in lesser crimes. Fearing that he would be outflanked by Strauss, his main rival, Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger went...
...virtually any offer might have looked attractive. While most other law faculty members recently received salary increases, he was pointedly denied one. When the state bar association held its annual gathering in 1968, he was not invited to speak-though the Ole Miss law school dean is traditionally a major figure on the program. The trustees began screening his faculty appoint ments, vetoing some of the men he felt would be most valuable.

Then, at 31, Defregger decided to become a priest. He was or dained in 1949 and assigned to a small church in the Munich suburbs...
Indeed, the strain is often greatest on the middle managers, who do not get the lift that conies from being on top. One personnel officer admits that his company's major health problem is that too many men seem to burn out at 55. The harried middle manager feels the hot breath of rising young men, who now start at salaries that it once took ten years to achieve. Frank Cassell, professor of industrial relations at Northwestern's Graduate School of Business, detects a widespread malaise that affects even these high-priced junior executives.
