...tente does not diminish "ideological competition" with the capitalist West. But some experts interpreted his definition of détente as a repudiation of a basic principle enunciated in the 1972 Moscow summit. There the U.S. and U.S.S.R. vowed not to seek "unilateral advantages" against each other. Says a Munich-based Kremlinologist: "The Soviet Union is taking on the role of a world gendarme and is using its advantage wherever a vacuum is created by the withdrawal of the U.S." That interpretation is supported by the vigorous pace of the Soviet arms buildup (see following story). Brezhnev's speech...
...least a century, German and Germanic theologians have dominated Protestant thought. In the current generation, the two acknowledged theological stars are Tübingen's Jürgen Moltmann and Munich's Wolfhart Pannenberg. Moltmann, of Theology of Hope fame, has been the better known and the more popular, especially among Protestant social reformers. Pannenberg is still largely unknown outside the tight little world of religious scholars. But, says John Cobb of California's School of Theology at Claremont, he "is fairly widely recognized to have published more substantive work in theology in the past decade" than...
...BOOKS). Staff Writer Stephen Schlesinger spent 18 monastic months writing The New Reformers, an analysis of recent liberal movements.

...surface, it is the realization of an Orwellian fantasy, a chilling page out of Nineteen Eighty-Four. To avoid the kind of terrorist attack that killed eleven Israelis in Munich four years ago, the Austrians constructed what they hope is a guerrilla-proof village. To the athletes checking in last week, initial impressions were unnerving: an 8-ft.-high chain-link fence surrounding the compound, electronically wired to set off an alarm at the slightest touch; a main gate guarded by submachine guns; and a gauntlet of identity checks by sentries, who bark at athletes, "Show me your pass." Says...
Died. Werner Heisenberg, 74, iconoclastic German nuclear physicist who joined with Albert Einstein, Max Planck and others in repealing some of Newton's laws of physics during the 1920s and 1930s; in Munich. Heisenberg's outstanding contribution, for which he won the Nobel Prize at 31, was the formulation of the uncertainty, or indeterminacy principle. It states that there is an ultimate limit on physical measurement or observation in scientific experiments because the very act of measurement changes the behavior of objects under scrutiny. Unlike many of his scientist friends, Heisenberg remained in Germany under the Nazi regime...
