West Germany has done very well under the Christian Democrats, and to most Germans Chancellor Kiesinger is the model of what a statesman should look like-tall, dignified and silver-haired. In a straightforward popularity contest, he would probably outpoll Socialist Leader Willy Brandt 2 to 1. But there is a sense of fatigue in the C.D.U. slogans ("SECURELY INTO THE '70s"). Resorting to one of those polysyllabic German jawbreakers, pollsters claim that the voters are displaying a higher degree of Risikobereitschaft, or willingness to take risks.

...such a force was being created, and on the Continent its principal inventor was the despised and sickly rationalist, Cardinal Richelieu. What Richelieu devised at home was the modern European state. France was his working model, and as its most powerful Minister of government, he developed a strong, centralized, departmental administrative system that, to some extent, endures today. Abroad, his military and diplomatic machinations helped ensure the continued existence of a weakened, fragmented Europe, soon to be dominated by France. The Cardinal also devised, as Historian O'Connell relates in this clear and remarkably sympathetic study, a code...
