...West Germany Sept. 26-29, the Soviets stepped up their efforts last week to sow discontent between the two countries. Soviet commentators did little to else but denounce West German "revanchism," the desire to restore pre-World War II boundaries, describing the country as virtually a reborn Third Reich that is preparing to launch another blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union. Despite an improving relationship between East and West Germany this year, Honecker may decide not to brave such Soviet opposition. Indeed, when officials in Bonn and East Berlin conferred to settle details of the trip, the East Germans withheld official...
Ghetto is an Italian word, but it is defined in German. In 1939 the Third Reich took the obsolete custom of separating Jews from the human community and gave it new meaning. No longer were there merely segregated facilities, suffocating laws and a curfew. By the '40s isolation had become a euphemism for what Nobel Laureate Nelly Sachs calls "Habitations of death . . . staining each minute with a different darkness...

Once someone thought up the word neoconservative, neoliberalism was not long in coming, as has been made clear in the pages of the New Republic, the Washington Monthly, the Atlantic and other journals of the cognoscenti. Gurus abound in the likes of Robert Reich, I ester Thurow, and Charles Peters--and there are plenty of politicians who have been ready and willing to take up the "new ideas" cudgel: Sen. Gary W. Hart (D-Colo.). Sen Paul E. Tsongas (D-Mass.). Rep. Timothy Wirth (D-Colo.). And there are, of course, the requisite buzzwords: industrial...
DIED. Karl Wolff, 84, storm-trooper general and Nazi military governor of Italy who negotiated the surrender of 1 million German and Italian troops to the Allies on May 2, 1945, six days before the Third Reich collapsed; after a long illness; in Rosenheim, Germany. Although he was chief adjutant to SS Commander Heinrich Himmler, Wolff after the war denied knowledge of Hitler's final solution and was not tried as a war criminal. In 1964, however, he became the highest-ranking Nazi officer to be tried in a West German court; he was sentenced to 15 years...
