INTERVIEW: In a startling turnabout,
East Germany's new President
Egon Krenz, declares that "freedom of
movement is a basic human right"
The man who succeeded Erich Honecker reveals to TIME
that he told officials to disobey any order to shoot
demonstrators in Leipzig. He invites "all political
forces" to shape a consensus that will serve
his country's majority. But he insists that
present borders must be respected and
takes a dim view of German reunification.
