...tarnished his image as the creator of West Germany's economic miracle. A sharp setback for his Christian Democratic Union in the key state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia took the steam out of his reputation as the country's No. 1 vote getter. Even his special relationship with the U.S. was called into question after he came away from a Washington visit in September without a promise from Lyndon Johnson to reduce the amount of money Bonn must spend next year to offset the costs of maintaining U.S. troops in West Germany. Last week came Erhard...
...Relationship. The second session, like the first, heralded a broad, long-term change in the relationship between Washington and U.S. society. By adopting an auto-safety bill and a truth-in-packaging measure, Congress showed a new determination to protect consumers from hazardous products and dishonest marketing. Federal aid to education was expanded in this session to a total of $10 billion-50% more than the entire U.S. budget...

There follows a melodramatic confession scene in which Miss Haworth broadly hints at what she has done, but scrupulously avoids the word for it. Mr. Convy zips off to Paris, Miss Haworth goes back to work, and Hitler comes to power, with all that that entails...
...rare instances when something works do we get an idea of what Cabaret was meant to be. Joel Gray, as the master of ceremonies, does a brilliant love song with a female gorilla, titled "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes." The obvious parallel to Miss Lenya's relationship with Mr. Gilford gives the song a relevance all the other cabaret numbers lack. A song of popular unrest, "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," is later twisted into a grotesque Nazi rallying cry, and the meaning is again clear...
