...platforms so similar, the election seemed to turn on matters of personal style. To offset Schmidt's palpable aura of authority, efficiency and intellect, Kohl cultivated a folksy, old-fashioned image. Implying that it was time to leave postwar apologetics behind, Kohl encouraged his audiences to take pride again in the traditional German virtues of "cleanliness, punctuality, dependability, savings and hard work." He talked of "the fatherland" and occasionally led campaign rallies in singing the West German national anthem, Deutschlandlied. Said Kohl: "We don't want nationalism, but we're entitled to a normal feeling of national...

Continuous revolution, self-sacrifice, and the "boundless creative power of the masses" are the forces that propelled Mao to personal greatness and regained for China a lost pride, a sense of purpose. They are reminders to those of us who would unabashedly indulge ourselves because the world is better than it was, or leave the tasks of social change to other citizens. "Dare to struggle: dare to win." Those who embody the principles of continued sacrifice and struggle, be they workers, peasants or any oppressed people have fought in Mao's spirit and will ultimately be victorious...

Long after the rest of the country was losing them, the South still possessed those things that are often thought essential to great literary art: a hot sense of pride and guilt, a feel for land and family, a known way of doing things and, above all, a feeling of shared pain and history. Through the slow days and long nights, Southerners told stories -their own and the one everybody knew by heart: the brave defeat in defense of an ignoble cause...
