ABOUT OUR COVER
West Germany's Chancellor Kohl demonstrates his ability to communicate plainly
to the voters in a relaxed and confident manner. Critics had predicted that Mr. Kohl
would be little more !han a caretaker ruler. They underestimated what one source
termed his "single-minded ambition and perseverance- and his ability to grow in
his role."
