...Brandt, whose Social Democratic Party suffered a stunning electoral setback in its traditional stronghold of Hamburg last week, is even more gloomy about the future. While West Germany sits on the fattest bankroll in Europe, its leaders are haunted by an old fear: that if Germans begin to push, steer and wrestle the Common Market into the image they want, then the hatreds and stereotypes of the Nazi past will burst back in full venom...
Intellectual Course. Since taking over the party leadership in 1967, Thorpe has tried to steer an intellectual course between the Scylla of Socialism and the Charybdis of Conservatism.

If Edward Kennedy wanted advice, looking toward the 1976 election, Molloy would recommend an "innocent look": "You know-short hair parted on the side, blue blazers and gray flannel slacks, loafers and preppy ties. That's the only way someone with his problems can be credible." Should George McGovern rally to yet another national election, Molloy would offset his ultraliberal reputation with strictly conservative garb. "People thought George was unstable in 1972. One day he was Broadway George...
