...Tuesday morning to negotiate final details of the visit to West Germany by East German Communist Party Leader Erich Honecker. At similar regular sessions during the past three months, the four East German envoys and their West German counterparts had agreed that Honecker would meet with West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at a health spa hotel. They had even decided that the Wiebelskirchen musical corps would serenade the East German leader at his birthplace in the Saarland. With the visit less than a month away, they had come to discuss the wording of the final communiqué that both German...

...deal that could have been made only in the political otherworld of the two Germanys: deutsche marks in exchange for closer ties between people. The government of West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl last week approved backing for a private bank loan of more than $330 million to East Germany, the second time in two years that Bonn has guaranteed such a deal. In the language of diplomacy, the loan carried no conditions. But in the world of Realpolitik there were clear requirements, and it came as no surprise when the West German government also announced that East Germany will ease...
