That task fell to Brandt's shadow Defense Minister Helmut Schmidt, 46. At a rally for 25,000 in Dortmund, Schmidt heaped scorn on Erhard. "One reads his campaign literature," cried Schmidt. "Me, me, me, I, I, I. The psychologists call this overcompensation of one's own complexes." To roars of applause and whistles, he went on, "The man has absolutely no powers of decision. The symbol on Herr Erhard's coat of arms should not be a cigar but a shaking pudding...
...records: Tom Rush and Blues, Songs, and Ballads. While Tom Rush is no doubt the better of the two, Blues, Songs and Ballads has personality. It captures some of Rush's best performances: a riotous rendition of the old jazz tune "Sister Kate" acquired from Eric von Schmidt and a version of "Baby Please Don't Go" that I prefer to Mose Allison's. Excepting "Rag Mama" and "Drop Down Mama," which have inordinately good lyrics much of the remainder is pedestrian...
...today only 190 breweries are in business, and many of them have a future about as flat as stale beer. The ten biggest brewers account for 55% of sales, and another 30% belongs to such strong and modern regional brewers as National of Baltimore, Pearl of San Antonio, Schmidt of Philadelphia and Olympia of Washington State. The big marketing battle is between the regionals and the nationals that have set up regional plants to compete with them, such as Budweiser, Schlitz, Pabst, Falstaff and Carling. The smaller breweries are caught between the two; imported beers, which account for only...
...speed at which the blue objects travel is the most convincing proof of their great distance from earth: under the expanding-universe theory, the faster an object recedes from the earth, the farther away it is. Using spectroscopic techniques perfected by Dr. Maarten Schmidt, a Caltech colleague, Sandage and Schmidt analyzed three of these objects, and found that they were moving away from the earth at tremendous speeds. One of them, BSO-1 (blue stellar object) seems to be speeding at the rate of 125,000 miles a second, making it second only to quasar 3C-9 (149,000 miles...
...last week's announcement five new quasars were listed, their speeds varying upward from 93,000 miles per second. What this means in actual distance Dr. Schmidt is not quite sure. He is certain, however, that they are the most distant objects so far identified, even though man's knowledge of the outer fringes of the universe is too uncertain for making hard and fast measurements. Out among the quasars, space itself may have unfamiliar properties...
