Bravo, Helmut Schmidt, for your superb courage and sangfroid. The world was watching in agony for the fate of the hostages and the credibility of the democratic process...
...short a time. The hallmark has been the casualness of his words. This has contributed mightily to the arguments over the Middle East, SALT and the American economy. Things said in haste have been retracted, modified, further explained. Carter uses words as if they were Band-Aids. Chauncey Schmidt, chairman of the Bank of California, complained that the President just did not seem to understand the tremendous impact of his words. Presidential Band-Aids are hard to peel off. Schmidt suggested that Carter talks before he thinks...
...movie actor who is the video expert for the Red Army gang, the Dutch had managed a feat that has so far eluded a whole army of German policemen. After Schleyer's body was found in the trunk of an abandoned car last month, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt ordered up his country's biggest postwar man hunt to track down the 16 Red Army gang members suspected of involvement in kidnaping and murder.

In a larger sense, the quartet was to exemplify all such men of affluence. But this is precisely where the show stumble, for Benfer, Mc Millan, Task and Val-Schmidt all work too hard at aping this stereotype. Striving to be warbling Everymen, they fail to make their characterizations personal enough to be individually endearing. Collectively, they do not more than communicate a state of mind pervasive among males of a specific period and class; in a retrospect, their renditions coalesce...
