Evren's approach has aroused concern in Western Europe. Karsten Voigt, foreign policy spokesman for West Germany's Social Democratic opposition, has challenged Bonn's $165 million economic aid to Turkey, saying that there is "no moral justification for criticism of martial law in Poland" if West Germany does not take action to reduce human rights abuse in other countries, like Turkey. Last week 90 French intellectuals staged a protest demanding "the immediate end of the repression and militarization that has hit the universities." And in a public show of displeasure, the U.S. consul in Istanbul turned...
...buildup of conventional forces in Europe a prerequisite for renouncing the first-use doctrine. Yet without such a buildup, Western Europe would be very vulnerable to Soviet military attack. Foreign policy experts for West Germany's two leading political parties denounced the no-first-use idea. Karsten Voigt of the governing Social Democrats termed it "not attractive to us," arguing that "for the people of West Germany, a long conventional war is just as horrible in its effect as a limited nuclear war."

Whether or not women would be happy with Alan Bates, who is quiet and artistic, or John Voigt, who is paralyzed from the waist down, or Philippe Noiret, who is almost senile, is another question...
...they are weak and confused. There is little doubt that Fonda is going to go back to her husband, Bruce Dern, once he pulls himself together and stops reliving his Vietnam days, pulling out bayonets in the living room and threatening to kill everyone. Yes, her little affair with Voigt, the radical Vietnam paraplegic, was a mind-opening and beautiful experience for her, but is she really going to live a with someone who's paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of her life? And Clayburgh, although she does go through a deep, soul-searching experience with...
