...plan as a sellout, because Bahr's draft, among other things, failed to affirm Germany's right to eventual reunification. In an effort to arouse popular opposition to the talks, somebody, apparently a Brandt enemy high in the government, leaked excerpts from the Bahr-Gromyko paper to Hamburg's sex-and-scandal newspaper Bild-Zeitung...

"Instead of uniformity, they proclaimed difference; instead of aggression, overt sexuality," writes Savage, with as good a recipe as any for the teenage era that...
