...their homes in the South. Each walked with a fast, short-stepped gait ("festination") and had a marked tremor on his left side. These were symptoms of advanced Parkinsonism, a disorder (cause unknown) of nerve nuclei at the base of the brain. But each man had just been freed of such symptoms on the right side. For the first time, after more than five years of helplessness, each could write legibly and feed himself an in-flight meal. This improvement in a disease bafflingly difficult to treat had been wrought by three "buzzes" (actually inaudible), lasting less than two seconds...
...into everything, let nothing escape you, learn and learn more . . . We must study technology, master science." Today Russia graduates more than twice as many scientists and engineers per year as the U.S. So sophisticated was the approach of Communist bosses to science-particularly since World War 11-that they freed scientists from the Communist system itself, set them up in a never-never land of unlimited funds, limousines, dachas, and even-in the last few years-freedom of thought.

"Na, Frau Muhr," he would ask his secretary each day, "are there still any textiles left in the shop windows this morning?" As prices soared, outraged citizens hoisted "Erhard to the Gallows" banners, and trade unions demanded a return to rationing and price controls. Replied Erhard: "We must...
...would be unrealistic to ignore the fact that certain acts of the governments of these newly freed countries give rise to diffidence and hesitation among potential investors abroad. So mistakes are being made. But who doesn't make mistakes? The very basis of democracy is indeed the right of every people to make mistakes and pay for them in the hope that they may not be repeated. You will not, I hope, consider it an impertinence if I ask whether you, who exercise this right so freely in your own country, will wish to deny it to others...
