...subtleties of U.S. antitrust policy were largely lost on the cartel-minded Europeans, who are used to far less severe trustbusting, if any at all. Die Welt of Hamburg voiced suspicion that the U.S. market is a closed shop to Europe. In Britain, which has never refused a U.S. oil company's application to enter its markets, the reaction was especially bitter. Some members of Parliament hinted at retaliation against U.S. business in Britain. Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart protested to Secretary of State William Rogers...

...circulation of all of Germany's daily newspapers, a percentage few other Western publishers come close to matching.* His rather sensational Bild Zeitung, published in Hamburg with a Berlin edition, has a circulation of 4,446,000, largest of any paper on the Continent. His more thoughtful Die Welt (circ. 280,000) is one of Germany's most influential papers. Its Sunday edition, along with Springer's other paper, Bild am Sonntag, accounts for 90% of Germany's Sunday circulation. Springer also publishes Hör Zu! (Listen!) a TV guide that has the largest circulation...
