There is some question whether Brandt will make a good Chancellor. Reserved and thin-skinned, Brandt may find the perpetual pummeling that high office brings unbearable. Furthermore, his own past?his illegitimate birth, his "defection" from Nazi Germany and acceptance of Norwegian citizenship?turns many Germans from him.
