...just that, shocking German officialdom into wakefulness. Demonstrations that began the day after the Nov. 23 attack in the northern city of Molln persisted through a funeral gathering in Hamburg that attracted 10,000, and then into last weekend, when a crowd many times as large gathered in Munich. Images of marchers carrying banners asking such questions as HOW MANY CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO FALL TO TERROR SO THAT BONN WILL BE ALERT? flashed across the nation's television screens. Pointed criticism poured in from abroad, including condemnations from the governments of Turkey and Israel. THE SILENCE OF TOO MANY...
...international study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the younger you are, the greater the chance that you have suffered from clinical depression sometime in your life. The investigation combined 12 local and regional studies made during the 1980s in such places as the U.S., Taiwan, Munich, Paris, Beirut and Christchurch, New Zealand. In virtually every case, people born before 1905 had a lower rate of depression than those born between 1905 and 1914, who in turn had a lower rate than those born between...
...care about Red Square, though not really because of the puzzle -- better than routine but less than grand-master quality -- that the author sets up and then solves. We know what to expect. The shabby, battered hero, Arkady, unravels blackest villainy, as he must, from Moscow to Munich, on to Berlin and back to Moscow; unbelievably escapes, as he must, a variety of murderous attacks; leaves a trail of defunct hard guys; and, as we knew he would be when we opened the book, is still standing, bleeding lightly...
Arkady investigates the killing of an informant, a glossy black marketeer, and is relieved of his duties when he gets too close to the truth. He blackmails his boss for an air ticket and follows the trail to Munich. The corruption here is prosperity gone to fat. Needing to create a diversion in a parking garage, Arkady jostles a swollen, glistening car. Its alarm screams. Another jostled car and another; the German miracle bawls its rage. On to post-Wall Berlin, awash in refugees and resentments, smelling of money, poverty and developers' schemes. Arkady has found his old love Irina...
Half an hour south of Cognac, Pierre-Remy Houssin, a National Assembly Deputy, welcomed 49 Bavarians last week to "a Musical Encounter" in his village of Baignes. The Germans, from Baignes' sister city of Dietramszell, near Munich, brought three kegs of beer and played brassy tunes, while the French choir chimed in with Mozart and Bach. Houssin told the Germans that he opposes Maastricht. "The best way to fall down stairs is to run up four steps at a time," he joked. But the Bavarians hardly seemed to mind. "Maastricht is a bad program," said Hans Gams, 21, a farmworker...
