East Germany's Communist rulers suffer the pangs of isolation. Despite the country's impressive economic performance, it is denied diplomatic recognition by most Western nations; and even among its Communist neighbors. East Germany's hard-line views are sometimes ignored. But Party Boss Walter Ulbricht and his lieutenants have some effective ways of getting a response from other countries. One of them: using prisoners as bait...
Peyret predicts other benefits: "I don't claim that bordellos will eliminate sexual crimes, but I believe they will reduce them.

...permission beforehand, or they would face legal prosecution. CRR members argued that this additional rule-a long-standing statute for all students required to leave Harvard-was merely a logical extension of the original punishment; if the students were truly to be excluded from the University, then they must suffer the complete consequences of that decision. But others in the University-even many of those who approved of the suspensions-argued that the "no entrance" rule was an uncalled-for infringement on the rights of the suspended students as well as the rights of others at Harvard who might want...
