Quote:
Helmut Schmidt, Assertive West German Chancellor, Dies at 96
Helmut Schmidt, the former West German chancellor who marshaled personal dynamism, managerial brilliance and often acid-tongued impatience to push his country into an assertive international role as the Cold War dragged on into the 1970s, died on Tuesday at his home in Hamburg. He was 96.

The chancellor of my childhood, someone who earned respect wherever he went, a politician that was not motivated by greed, a politician you will not find anymore today.
RIP
