...essential to a comeback from its 1983 defeat by Helmut Kohl's ruling coalition. Still, the Greens' worst enemies continue to be themselves. "If the Greens become a party of just young protesters," warns Werner Holzer, editor of the left-of-center Frankfurter Rundschau, "they won't stay in Bonn." For the moment, the Greens may have to concentrate simply on staying together...
...have been the five-hour show, but rather the largely nonviolent arrest of about 250 left-wing demonstrators by U.S. military police. For the protesters, who sought to publicize their opposition to scheduled European deployment of U.S. medium-range nuclear missiles, the day was a triumph. The Frankfurter Rundschau (circ. 200,000) contended, "American soldiers on German soil were randomly beating, arresting and handcuffing demonstrators like criminals." The influential newsweekly Der Spiegel (circ. 970,000) said, "Soldiers, armed with bats and grim expressions, took the demonstrators, who did not put up any resistance, and threw them like cargo into army...

West German intellectuals of the Marxist-oriented left are fascinated, puzzled but not attracted by the Greens. Says Werner Holzer, editor of the left-leaning Frankfurter Rundschau: "The intellectual left has remained aloof for the most part because of the Greens' unruly way of thinking." In their inarticulate way, the Greens, indeed, appear to be rejecting all the political ideologies of the past, including Marxism. Nonetheless, says Professor Richard Lowenthal of the Free University of Berlin, the Greens' thinking has been influenced by the Marxist teachers who are now established in West German universities. This influence has presumably...
