GUNTER GRASS believes in democracy. He disapproves of the German students on the Far Left as much as he does those on the neo-Nazi right, because both are trying to destroy Germany's democracy rather than strengthen it. In the series of speeches, open letters, and articles translated in Speak Out!, Grass presents his vision of what the German state should be, and his criticisms of West Germany...
...began almost unnoticed last November, when Moscow dusted off two sections of the 1945 United Nations charter. The clauses gave the victor states (obviously including Russia) the right to intervene unilaterally against the renewal of an aggressive policy by an "enemy state." Russia claims that this applies to any "neo-Nazi" threat in West Germany.

...statements likely to incite racial hatred. It was passed in 1965, largely as a weapon against extremist white agitators and segregationists, and provided for maximum penalties of $2,800 fine and two years in jail. So far, the only convictions have been Colin Jordan, leader of Britain's neo-Nazi National Socialists, currently serving an 18-month sentence, and Jordan's assistant who was put on probation for three years...
