...said, she said" tradition of open quotes openly arrived at. American reporters are uneasy with the sweeping statements affected by Frenchmen and other foreigners; the average American newspaperman is constitutionally unable to write a sentence like "The future of NATO is threatened by the re-opening of the Schleswig-Holstein question" without pinning it on someone. Hence when the source is informed but anonymous, the writer casts about for substitutes for "he said, she said" and comes up with curiosities like "it was learned" or Reston's "it is understood...
After the war, Rehse settled in West Germany with his wife and daughter, and in 1956 managed to win a judgeship in the Schleswig-Holstein state court-only to lose it eleven months later when his past caught up with him. By 1962, as pressure began building for action against the untouched Nazi jurists, Schleswig-Holstein authorities opened an investigation of Rehse. Finally, last February, they arrested him.

For another, Von Hassel, the former minister-president of Schleswig-Holstein, commands the Protestant northern wing of the Christian Democratic Union, and Erhard does not want to offend some of his staunchest supporters...
Beitz & Barks. The expellee Evangelical Bishop of Schleswig-Holstein resigned in protest; the Socialist chairman of the Expellees' Federation cried out against the offense to Heimatsrecht. Swastikas sprouted on walls in normally progressive Berlin. Evangelical Bishop Hanns Lilje of Hanover received scores of hate letters, and Berlin Editorialist Karl Silex (himself a native of Stettin, now Szczecin), who welcomed the memorandum as a departure from "taboos and legal claims," found the front door of his house in flames-the work of Hetmat-righteous zealots...
