...High Price. A Berliner, Schütz studied politics at Harvard in the late '40s, returned to the U.S. in 1960 to observe the Kennedy-Nixon contest. He helped campaign for Willy Brandt in Brandt's unsuccessful attempt to unseat Konrad Adenauer in 1961. Brandt, who liked Schütz's work, sent him to Bonn as the city's special representative to the federal government. When Brandt became Foreign Minister last year, he brought Schütz along...
...that he, has little faith in Albertz's plan to rebuild West Berlin prosperity by turning the city into a center for trade and cultural exchange between East and West. Not that he is against "building bridges," said Schütz, but he is unwilling to pay the price the Communists demand for their cooperation. The East Germans want West Berlin turned into a "Free City" without ties to West Germany and without the protection of an Allied military presence. "West Berlin must not go off half-cocked," said its new boss. "Berlin's economy and jobs...
...also hopes to cool off the students at the Free University, which has become a haven for draft dodgers (West Berlin residents are exempt from West Germany's 18-month conscription) and police-baiting left-wingers who want peace with East Germany at any price.

Figuratively, and in some cases literally, they are. Manhattan's Hair Design Associates, on St. Mark's Place, caters to both men and women, although once the clients have been swaddled up to their necks in hair cloths it is sometimes difficult...
Ford did manage to wring some relief in the haggling over the last major contract hangup, which concerned the U.A.W.'s cherished cost-of-living escalator clause. While the old contract provided for unlimited automatic wage adjustments geared to the consumer price index, this time Ford got annual ceilings of 8? and 7? in the second and third years of the contract, agreeing to a minimum annual increase of 3? in return. The pennies were not peanuts; 1? an hour on Ford's 160,000-man payroll means $3,200,000 a year...
