Practically everyone connected with the cover story was typecast for the job. Bonn Bureau Chief Herman Nickel was born in Berlin, has been covering Germany for four years. He was able to get a 45-minute interview with Kiesinger an hour after he took the oath of office-the first interview granted by the new Chancellor. On hand to help were Correspondent Gisela Bolte, our German economics specialist, and Stringer Burton Pines, who is working for a doctorate in modern German history. European Economic Correspondent Robert Ball, stationed in Zurich, came to Bonn for the story; Ball...

The music underscores action with fine restraint, and Harrington's serviceable dialogue suits the guileless, understated performances of his principals, Linda Lawson and Dennis Hopper. They are deftly typecast. As the sailor, Hopper talks about Denver, but his Attic profile might have been minted in ancient Greece. And Actress Lawson lushly incarnates the myth of mariner and maid that has haunted men's imaginations for more than 2,000 years...
