...ground-launched cruise missiles scheduled for deployment in five West European countries will be moved into place in Britain and Italy. Although the missile question has provoked the most heated opposition in West Germany, Chancellor Helmut Kohl vigorously reaffirmed, in recent meetings with President Reagan and Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov, that his government was committed to the NATO decision no matter how many people demonstrated this fall...
...central axiom is that if one burrows deep enough beneath the Mao jacket, the shapka or the chador, one discovers that people everywhere are essentially the same.

Visiting with the President in Washington last week, West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher reiterated the enthusiasm of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who met with Soviet President Yuri Andropov in Moscow two weeks ago, for a U.S.-U.S.S.R. summit...
