Germans Open Elections Campaign Readies Bundestag vote in September while unification fades from debate in Bonn
The German Federal Republic prepares to elect 499 members of parliament on September 19. Chancellor Lupwic Erxuarp seeks a standalone bid, distancing from Der Alte Konrap Apst-KAUER. The Social Democrats skip a grand coalition with the Free Democrats led by Herbert Wehner amid 17 coalition crises and 36 interparty quarrels. West Germans resist a peace treaty with the West, while the Soviet Zone leverages the German problem for Kremlin aims, causing Bonn to downplay unification issues. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung notes it is dangerous to raise the problem constantly as each side perceives it differently.

Voting Rights Act condemned as one party rule and federal overreach
The author denounces the Voting Rights Act as a targeted, unconstitutional move aimed at six Southern states. He argues it concentrates power in Washington, degrades local governance, and signals the end of equal justice by singling out specific states. The piece predicts literacy tests, voter roll manipulation, and a regression to Reconstruction-era conditions while railing against Johnson and Fortas.
