...producing heavy arms in Hitler's Germany (modeled on the Krupps) is among the best historical films ever made. It provides a particularly good focus on the connection between sexual perversity and power in Nazi Germany, and the representation of the Night of the Long Knives is extremely chilling. Helmut Berger finds his ideal role as the mother-fixated incompetent heir, and the raven haired young girl he molests is enough to turn anyone into a pedophile. Peter Kaplan...
...brief but telling European family spat. Asked on television recently about the Communist electoral threat in Italy, West Germany's blunt Chancellor Helmut Schmidt suggested that Communist parties are really a problem only in countries where there is "reactionary clinging to old forms and old attitudes"-citing, among other examples, France. Then, in a published interview which appeared last week, Schmidt added that he did not want Communists coming to power in places like Italy and France, but if they did get government roles, it would not necessarily be a catastrophe. That was more than an irritated Paris could...
Even if his counterparts elsewhere in Western Europe were not struggling with deep political and economic problems, West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt would stand out. As his country's head of government and top economic policymaker (he is a former Finance Minister), Schmidt, 57, has led the country out of its worst postwar recession relatively unscathed. Often Schmidt's opinions are the determining factor in Common Market decisions. At home, he does not elicit overwhelming warmth or emotion, but he is sufficiently respected to have won a 76% "approval" rating in a recent public opinion poll...
Kissinger's fears about Western Europe's future gave Ford no trouble and Reagan little ammunition. But the Republican challenger had an easy target in what has now been dubbed "the Sonnenfeldt doctrine"-named for State Department Counselor Helmut Sonnenfeldt, Kissinger's top expert on East-West relations and arms control. Sonnenfeldt enunciated his ideas at the same gathering of ambassadors that Kissinger addressed (TIME, April 12). In essence, Sonnen-feldt's thesis was that the U.S. should not encourage a violent political uprising in the satellites because it could only lead to Soviet intervention...
...Northern Socialists-including British Laborites, West German Social Democrats, Danish, Swedish and Austrian parties-vehemently reiterated what has come to be a cornerstone of the Socialist International's policy: no dealings with Communists. "We see no reason to engage in any kind of cooperation," thundered West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, warning that any alliances would endanger both NATO and the Common Market...
