Because she is from Germany and came to America fairly recently, Schroder was probably less aware than the other secretaries here of what to expect at Harvard. Until 1967, when she left for America to join her fiance, Schroder was a reporter and editor for a newspaper in Dortmund. The set of associations between job and status in Germany and America are different enough that she did not think, as an American woman would have, that it was unusual for her to make a voluntary switch from journalist to mother's helper, her first American...
...that even selected chain gangs from the workers' paradise over the Wall were clanked into the corruptive world of blue films and blue jeans, then-on the final whistle of the match they witnessed-knouted off again. Frankfurt airport, with team supporters looking for planes to Dortmund, Munich, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf and Hannover, was a Brechtian fantasy of chauvinistic headgear and rosettes.

In Kassel, two anti-N.P.D. demonstrators were shot and wounded; the party claimed that it had no idea who the gunman was. To protect himself from flying eggs, tomatoes and rocks, Von Thadden speaks at open-air meetings from behind a glass cage, and a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz limousine whisks him from rally to rally...
Other mergers are in the air. Hoesch, the eighth largest German steelmaker, took the plunge last year when it absorbed Dortmund-Hörder Hüttenunion. Until recently, Krupp was believed to be considering merging with Thyssen; now Klöckner is said to be a potential Krupp partner. And two more companies, Salzgitter and Ilseder Hütte, are eyeing each other as possible mates...
