...laws and high labor costs, German industry is gradually being hollowed out. In 1993, for example, Siemens employed 238,000 people in Germany and 153,000 in other countries; 10 years later, these figures were reversed, to 167,000 in Germany and 247,000 elsewhere. Some of Chancellor Gerhard Schroder's economic reforms are kicking in--an astounding 6.3 million people (out of a population of 83 million) have signed up to work part time in "mini-jobs," earning up to $486 a month tax free--but he hasn't solved the big problems...
...keen on more invasions. After three years of criticizing Bush for high-handedness, some foreign officials at the G8 summit in June saw a real change. U.S. officials, they said, were more willing to listen, more interested in finding a pragmatic solution to their differences. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, long in the White House doghouse after opposing the war in Iraq, was moved to declare after a meeting with Bush at the summit, "There has been a remarkable change in the American foreign policy."

In Europe the doctrine came to be called the Third Way and acted as a model for Britain's Tony Blair and Germany's Gerhard Schroder. When George W. Bush ran for the presidency in 2000, his "compassionate conservatism" had more than a faint ring of Clintonism...
Despite his leftist past--as a young man, he once spent seven weeks in jail and took part in street fights against the Frankfurt police--Fischer did not echo Chancellor Gerhard Schroder's anti-American rhetoric during the 2002 elections. "He understands the importance of U.S. leadership in the world and wants to channel it in the right direction," says Philip Gordon of the Brookings Institution. Unlike some other Europeans, says Gordon, "Fischer understands Israel's security dilemmas and the importance of a European commitment to Israeli security." He is thought to covet the position of E.U. Foreign Minister, which...
