...officials find Strauss good to work with. He is the only Minister Adenauer allows to make major policy statements in the Bundestag without horning in to amplify or correct. Yet many people feel that they cannot trust Strauss. His hell-for-leather ways, his quick temper and his unmistakable relish for power brush many Germans, and others, the wrong way. "He is his own worst enemy," says an old friend. Typically, he supports Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard, 63, as Adenauer's successor, though he knows that Erhard lacks both health and political savvy to hang on for more than...

In Rhodes, the peasants believe that a child conceived on March 25 must be born on Christmas Eve and will inevitably turn out to be a Kaous. A Kaous is an impish little devil, complete with horns, hoofs and pointed ears, descended from Pan. He circulates after dark, croaking, "Feathers or lead?" Either answer may be wrong, after which the Kaous mounts his victim like a horse for a breakneck ride across country, lashing...
