- LETTERS, Page 17Genscher's Tune
-
- Under pressure from its Foreign Minister, Hans-Dietrich
- Genscher, the West German government has at last started to
- stand up for its people instead of representing American
- interests in NATO (WORLD, May 8). Washington's annoyance at
- "Genscherism" shows a lack of consideration for the problems of
- its allies.

- Gudrun Bausch Filderstadt, West Germany
-
- If the U.S. were less arrogant, it would be more sensitive
- to German resentment of short-range missiles that could threaten
- our relatives and friends in East Germany. What would Americans
- say if they had to deploy missiles in the U.S. that could reach
- no farther than New York City, Boston or Atlanta?
-
- Martin Merka Wangen, West Germany
-
- For 40 years NATO has stood ready for war. Now, staring
- down the barrel of peace and disarmament for the first time,
- can't it muster anything newer than its insistence on
- maintaining the status quo? Times have changed. Let us modernize
- strategic concepts, not the Lance missile.
