...Travis Air Force Base that he hoped history would ignore the affair. "It would better be forgotten as long as people remember that we were exonerated." There is little likelihood of that, but unless some of the Green Berets themselves tell their full stories, the details of the episode may remain a mystery...
Questions of Secrecy. He may have forsaken any presidential ambition for 1972, but Kennedy is now determined to prove that he deserves re-election next year as an active Senator. A nearly total immersion in Senate business has also acted as a kind of therapy. Occasionally, he fears that he has lost some effectiveness. During a hearing of his Senate Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure, for example, Kennedy upbraided Federal Trade Commission Chairman Paul Rand Dixon.

Furthermore, his own past?his illegitimate birth, his "defection" from Nazi Germany and acceptance of Norwegian citizenship?turns many Germans from him. Those very credentials, however, enable him to speak far more candidly about Germany's past than Kiesinger, who had been a Nazi official. As mayor of West Berlin and later as Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister in the Grand Coalition, Brandt performed admirably. In Berlin, he coolly faced down the Soviets during...
