...Angie Brooks is a 15-year veteran of U.N. diplomacy, a skillful lawyer and Liberia's Assistant Secretary of State. In 1958, when both the President and Secretary of State were out of the country, she even filled in briefly as her nation's chief executive. Much of her work at the U.N. has involved the transformation of former colonial states into independent countries. Miss Brooks can view black Africa's yearning for uhuru, or independence, from a unique position. She is a leading figure in the continent's oldest republic -founded in 1847 by black...
...daughter of a Baptist minister, she was raised by a widowed seamstress when the burden of nine children became too much for her father. After a teen-age marriage and divorce, she determined to seek a higher education. She worked her way through all-black Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C., as a dishwasher and laundress, and financed her law studies at the University of Wisconsin with jobs as a library assistant and nurse's aide. In 1952 and 1953 she studied international law at London University...
Virtually everywhere they campaign, the scene is the same: Helmeted police, chanting, angry demonstrators, occasional scuffles, the din of derisive "Sieg Hell" and "Nazis out!" Not since the 1920s, when the Nazis were reaching for power, has a German political party provoked so much tumult and violence as the far-right, ultranationalist National Democratic Party. Chancellor Kiesinger, admitting that the N.P.D. is not purely neo-Nazi, describes it as "extremely harmful." Judging from the intensity of the oratory directed against the N.P.D., there are times when it sounds as if it were the party in power...
...member of the Nazi Party, and his distinguished Prussian Junker family was active in the anti-Hitler resistance (a half-sister was executed by the Nazis in 1944). He is not a rabble-rouser by any means: he speaks forcefully but with little passion, devoting much of his speeches to denying charges of Nazism. When hecklers interrupt, he either rebuffs them with sarcasm or stands coolly by, purling on a cigarette, until the ruckus dies down. Occasionally, he has even given his detractors time on the rally dais...
...Despite much public and political pressure for banning the party as undemocratic, the government has so far declined to do so, for fear it could not win in court. The squeeze on the N.P.D. has been applied in more subtle ways: many cities refuse to rent the party municipally owned halls for rallies, newspapers reject its ads, and television has all but blacked out its campaign. Preparing his alibis in advance, Von Thadden says he will appeal the election returns in court on the grounds that the N.P.D. has not been given a fair chance of presenting its case...
