After downing five cognacs during a flight from Stuttgart to Hannover last March, Adolf ("Bubi") von Thadden, 47, leader of West Germany's radical rightist National Democratic Party, cruised out of the airport and crunched his Mercedes 200D into a construction barricade. That boozy little episode has cost him a one-month suspended sentence; he had his license lifted for three months and had to fork over $556.25 in fines and $750 in repairs.

Maureen has toured for the ultra-rightist Constitutional Alliance, recorded folk songs (sample lyrics: "If you fight and your belief is right You'll never let freedom die"), and visited more than 100 cities for the sake of conservatism. Maureen sports a conservative hemline as well. "I sit on a lot of platforms," she says...
