...clowning, Scheel (pronounced shale) is tough and talented. "I am not a special friend of pretension," he said at his swearing-in ceremony last week. Like Brandt, he is truly a self-made man. The son of a wheelwright from the knives-and-scissors town of Solingen, he did not continue his education beyond high school...
