After a sharp firefight, police wounded the assailant and dragged him from a nearby cellar. He was identified as a 23-year-old Munich house painter named Josef Bachmann, who had traveled to Berlin expressly to kill Dutschke. "I read about Martin Luther King and thought, 'You too must do something like this,' " he explained to police. Even as Dutschke underwent a successful five-hour operation for the removal of a bullet from his skull, and seemed to be on the way to recovery, the news of the attempted assassination caused Germany's most widespread civil disturbances...

Joining Opel, General Motors' subsidiary, in 1929, Nordhoff worked as a sales director, traveling occasionally to the U.S. to study American production methods and spending his vacations on Opel's assembly line...

When the company built a hydroelectric plant in Afghanistan, it not only trained mechanics in Germany to run the operation but also erected the electrical and telephone system powered by the plant...
Siemens must export to survive; the domestic market simply will not support the company's huge research expenses, which last year amounted to $140 million. Its communications research center in Munich has 4,330 scientists; at the Erlangen lab near Nürnberg, 500 nuclear technicians made possible the Argentine generator sale. While most European firms depend upon American processes and patents, Siemens has sold $50 million more patent rights since the war than it has bought. If asked about the so-called technology gap between Europe and the U.S., Erwin Hachmann, 55, a member of Siemens' three...
