...easygoing, leisurely work style. But last week, West Germany's newly chosen Chancellor Helmut Kohl, 52, was behaving like a man without a moment to lose. Within three hours of taking over the glass-and-steel Bonn Chancellery from Social Democrat Helmut Schmidt, the Christian Democratic leader had sworn in a new 17-member Cabinet, chaired his first Cabinet meeting, held a press conference and jetted off to Paris for a hastily arranged get-acquainted dinner with his most important Western European partner, French President François Mitterrand.

During sworn pretrial testimony, Morgan claimed that Bloomingdale would bind several women with his neckties, beat them with a belt and "stand there and watch the girls get on the floor and crawl ... he'd have these girls crawl on the floor, and he'd sit on their back and drool, okay...
