...feminist buried under mounds of laundry, Judith hopes solving the murder will put a little intellectual excitement back into her life and perhaps help her regain her old job as a newspaper reporter. She is occasionally scared by her own boldness, always quick-witted in stating her emotional needs and her findings as a self- appointed crimebuster. Indeed, it is a measure of Compromising Positions' intelligence that the big speech on malefemale relations falls to Edward Herrmann, playing her husband.

Wieck is highly respected in Western capitals, and his appointment was seen as an attempt by the Kohl government to regain the confidence of its Atlantic allies. Investigators have not yet determined whether Tiedge, who joined the OPC in 1966, had been working for the East Germans all along or had gone over to the other side only recently. Whatever the case, the damage was considerable. Tiedge was in a position to know the identities of East Germans...
