Back in Bonn, Adenauer's views were publicly disavowed by his Foreign Minister, Gerhard Schroder, who declared in a magazine interview that Europe had everything to gain from political and economic partnership with Britain. Though Schroder later explained that he had expressed this view without reference to Adenauer's prerecorded TV interview, he effectively strengthened his position as a successor to the Chancellor with the majority of West Germany's Protestant voters, who are generally more eager to bring Britain into Europe than to strengthen Germany's ties with France...
Even this semiconcession is anathema to many West Germans. But Bonn's Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder is now backing Rusk's package, against the opposition of many prominent members of his own Christian Democratic Party.

The nearest school was a tough nine miles away, too far for daily travel. So when she was five, Rosetta began listening to lessons broadcast each day by New Zealand's national radio stations...
...extended, but was told the idea was unfeasible. For 4½ hours the bickering went on, made more short-tempered by Adenauer's request that no one smoke in his presence. Through the doors could be heard the angry outcries of Erhard's rival, Interior Minister Gerhard Schroder, who had wanted him out of the way. In the end a 40-man committee was chosen to find a new presidential candidate, who would inevitably be of less stature than Erhard...
