Led by its forceful and charismatic Chancellor, Helmut Schmidt, West Germany is the dominant economic power of Western Europe and is rapidly becoming one of the pivotal political forces of the European continent. Needless to say, the role is not a new one: a Germany that is no longer fearful, penitent, and psychologically crushed by the outrages of WW II is cause for concern to neighbors and adversaries.

Fuchs, the consummate technician who has spent most of the past two years in a training camp run by a government to which she is outspokenly committed. Schmidt, the power thrower who trains haphazardly and who recently quit the U.C.L.A. track team to protest the firing of the women's coach. The two have one thing in common.
