- <p> German leader Helmut Kohl, whose popularity has plunged as
- his countrymen have become aware of just how much unification
- is going to cost, is losing his patience. Walking through the
- shabby central square in the town of Halle earlier this month,
- Kohl caught the people's disaffection right in the face. Irate
- citizens pelted him with eggs while shouting, "Liar! Liar!" The
- enraged Kohl, egg yolks dripping from his head and lapels, shook
- off security personnel and plunged into the crowd to confront
- the hecklers. Just as the burly Bundeskanzler was taking a
- swing, his guards dragged him away.
