...obligation to make moral and material amends." The Chancellor reminded the deputies that the West German Constitution rejects "any form of racial discrimination." He pledged his government to unrelenting prosecution of all Jew-baiters.* The Bundestag listened in strained silence, broken only by the distracting paper-shuffling of a neo-Nazi member, sideburned Franz Richter, who was ostentatiously leafing through his morning mail...
...manuscript, Adenauer read on: "The Federal [Bonn] government is prepared jointly with representatives of Jewry and the State of Israel. . . to bring about a solution of the material reparation problem in order to facilitate the way to a spiritual purging of unheard-of suffering . . ."

A West German court last week found its führer, rabble-rousing Otto Ernst Remer, guilty of slander; during last winter's election campaign, Remer had accused Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's administration of subservience to the Western democracies ("Adenauer [is] nothing but a receiving station for allied orders").
