...more generally, by the anarchic and utopian Bohemia of the '60s: the Fluxus group and its best-known member, Joseph Beuys, with his shaman's wands and dead hares; Eugen Schonebeck, with his images of mutants and cripples; K.H. Hodicke, who made fervently swiped homages to Max Beckmann; and Georg Baselitz, creator of clumsy, wistful figures stumbling about in an apocalyptic landscape...
Muller and his colleague, Johannes Georg Bednorz, tinkered with hundreds of different oxide compounds over the next few years, varying quantities and ingredients like alchemists in search of the philosopher's stone. Finally, in December 1985, they came across a compound of barium, lanthanum, copper and oxygen that seemed promising. When Bednorz tested the compound, he was startled to see signs of super-conductivity at an unprecedented 35 K, by far the highest temperature at which anyone had observed the phenomenon. Could this result be correct? Aware of some hastily made superconductivity claims that later could not be reproduced...
...image stream of German expressionism went underground, but not even Nazism could dry it up. It is the deep, continuous current of German modernism; it picks up different names, en route through the century; and here it is again, manifested in the work of painters like Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer and, above all, its titular river-god, Joseph Beuys...

Hellenbroich was replaced by Hans-Georg Wieck, 57, an experienced diplomat who has served since 1980 as West German ambassador to NATO. Wieck is highly respected in Western capitals, and his appointment was seen as an attempt by the Kohl government to regain the confidence of its Atlantic allies. Investigators have not yet determined whether Tiedge, who joined the OPC in 1966, had been working for the East Germans all along or had gone over to the other side only recently. Whatever the case, the damage was considerable. Tiedge was in a position to know the identities of East Germans...
