Adenauer at 90 Still Energetic and Defiant
Konrad Adenauer, approaching his 90th birthday, remains vigorous and politically influential. The former West German chancellor advocates a wary U S stance toward Moscow over Beijing, defending a hard line against the Soviet threat despite shifting Washington views. He warns Soviets pose a greater danger to Europe than Vietnam and fears Moscow could reach the Rhine.
