It was he also who conceived the series of television debates, scheduled to begin this year, that would have been the first public political dialogue between East and West Germany-if Ulbricht had not stepped in at the last minute to overrule Communist participation...
...decades covered nearly every major European political event, often in his own Gipsy-Moth biplane, giving vivid accounts of King Feisal's 1920 enthronement in Damascus, the Russian famine of 1921, Hitler's Munich putsch, the East Berlin and Hungarian uprisings; following a heart attack; in Bad Godesberg, Germany...
