...prospect of a united Germany may be fueling the R.A.F.'s latest violence. A five-page letter to the press following the attack on Neusel decried the emergence of a "greater Germany pursuing the same goals and imperial plans as Nazi Fascism." The apparent anti-unification campaign follows the arrests of 10 R.A.F. operatives in East Germany in June. Three were released on legal technicalities, but six have been handed over to West German authorities, and one is in an East German prison. At a press conference in East Berlin, Interior Minister Peter-Michael Diestel confirmed that well- known terrorists...
Morton Downey Jr. The acerbic talk-show host claimed he was attacked in a San Francisco men's room by Nazi skinheads, who chopped off some of his hair and scrawled a swastika across his face. Skeptical officials made no arrests...
...beaming Waldheim introduced Havel to the crowd in glowing terms, the playwright President did not return the compliment.

The beginning of the end came last October, when Mikhail Gorbachev visited East Berlin and announced, almost in so many words...
Kohl accomplished his diplomatic feats by relying on the same skills that have put him on warm terms with a number of world leaders. He started out badly with Gorbachev in 1986, comparing the Soviet leader's public relations talents with those of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. When Kohl met with Gorbachev in Moscow last February, the two were civil to each other, nothing more. This time Kohl asked if part of his trip could be spent in Gorbachev's home region of Stavropol and the nearby spas, where the two leaders might relax and get to know each...
