...argument goes, can you assign to a painter who at 24 was photographed Sieg heil-ing outside the Colosseum or on the edge of the sea, as though "occupying" these sites in the name of the dead Fuhrer? Plenty, as it turned out. The shot of Kiefer saluting the Mediterranean is an acrid parody, the Nazi as Canute trying to raise himself to the level of a natural force. But this eludes those who want to think that the demons raised in Nazi Germany can be buried by mere denial, beneath the concrete of the postwar economic miracle...

Britain, France, Italy and the Netherlands already have warships and minesweepers on duty in the gulf -- as does the Soviet Union, which has a dozen ships there and in the Arabian...
...capable, we were ready . . . and they ((U.S. forces)) did an extraordinary, skillful and difficult task very well." The successful military show was staged only a week after the FBI's seizure of a much wanted Shi'ite Muslim terrorist, Fawaz Younis, who was lured onto a yacht in the Mediterranean, seized and spirited off to stand trial in the U.S. for the 1985 hijacking of a Jordanian airliner that carried four Americans among its 70 passengers and crew...
