Brandt's administration means, in fact, a new era in which the power in West Germany has largely passed to the untainted Germans?those who were too young to be accomplices in Hitler's crimes.

...another Socialist-led government took power. But Germany, beset by inflation and plagued by increasing political violence, proved ungovernable.

"Reagan has done with the students at Berkely just what Hitler tried to do with the Jews. He's made them the scapegoats for all the troubles in the state; he's turned all the people outside the university against them." By staying within Reagan's arena-or Hayakawa's or Kirk's or Pusey's-the students are spitting out their effort...
