...thinks different and even smells different from West Germany. Hanns Eisler's anthem speaks of an East Germany "risen from ruins and turned toward the future." In fact, Ulbricht has turned his country toward the East-for that is where he sees the future. He regards the Soviet leash as his regime's lifeline. A Soviet field marshal commands East Germany's 200,000-man army, its 600-plane air force and its 200-ship navy. The Soviet ambassador frequently sits in on meetings of Ulbricht's Politburo.

The only male Bonapartes alive today are a 16-year-old boy (Charles Napoleon Bonaparte) and his 52-year-old father (Napoleon Louis Jerome Victor Bonaparte), a prosperous Parisian who drives expensive sports cars-scarcely a Napoleonic occupation, but (as one of the conqueror...
