...Bottle. Glick's telephone call-in program is just one of dozens that are proliferating across the U.S., giving the platter parades and baseball broadcasts a run for the ratings. Glick, 43, now with his eighth radio station since 1953, has become a glib, gemütlich master of the new formula. All he has to defend himself against his telephone callers is a tape-delay device, which gives him a four-second time lag in which to erase obscenities from the air.

The occasion was the regular reunion of Germans expelled from Communist Poland after World War II. During a mammoth rally at fairgrounds on the banks of the Rhine, the gemütlich scene suddenly turned into a riot; stirred up by a rabble-rousing politician, the crowd nearly mobbed a German TV reporter who had suggested that Poland is doing well by the territories seized from Germany after World War II. In German politics, it is an article of faith that these territories...
