Growing Consternation. On another level, Moscow is reacting to deep-seated fears of a new German Drang nach Osten (thrust to the East). Since 1966, when Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger and Foreign Minister Willy Brandt began courting the countries of East Europe, their policy has proved eminently successful. It won diplomatic recognition for Bonn from Rumania, a strong hint of recognition from Hungary, and increased trade from other nations...
Germany's historical Drang nach Osten- push toward the East -has more often than not involved expansion and conquest at its neighbors' expense. Now West Germany is looking eastward again - but this time with a great difference. The only expansion it seeks is economic; the only conquest it wants is over the understandable fear and hostility that still persist among the Eastern European nations that have suffered so much at Germany's hands. Last week West German Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger rose in the Bundestag and, speaking to the East as much as to the deputies, said...
Krupp's Drang nach Osten-push to the East-is partly based on new European trade patterns. The agriculturally protectionist Common Market keeps out East Europe's traditional food exports, so that the Eastern countries are forced to seek new ways of earning hard currency. They hope to do so by exporting industrial products from the new enterprises built in partnership with Krupp. Ignoring politics, Krupp has pioneered West-East deals in which it provides the technological know-how and much of the machinery to labor-rich Eastern Europe, shares both the risks and profits with Communist governments...
...minor characters, for their performances range from passable to very good. Ellery Akers plays Helen as an empty-headed Fanny Hill, rather than a regal queen whose face launches a thousand ships, and plays her well. David Evett's Menelaus is properly unctuous and opportunistic. And Michael Nach's frenetic sing-song servility as a Phyrigian slave introduces the comic tone which diminishes the tragedy of Orestes...
Ionesco's Jack, or the Submission is just about as absurd as theatre gets. It alternates between caricatures and specious profundity, demanding and receiving unconvincing performances from the cast. Michael Nach is properly flaccid as Jack, a young man whose family reviles him until he declares he does like hash browned potatoes, and then tries to marry him off to Roberta, Janice Brown, a three-nosed beauty whom he finds insufficiently ugly. Miss Brown performs very well, as most of the cast seems to; "seems" because it is difficult to know exactly what the roles should be and exactly...
