This AM (27th), authorities announced the passing of Wolfgang Schauble....a major player of the CDU Party....at age 82.
To put the guy into prospective, in the Kohl era....if you were writing up a list of top three people to emerge after Kohl left the Chancellor's office, Schauble would have been on the list.
At age 48, shortly after unification of East/West Germany....Schauble attended a political rally event, and some nut-job/drug-addict fired several rounds...one hitting Schauble and permanently paralyzing him (to a wheel-chair).
Motive? Afterwards, the shooter noted that 'sound-waves' were being forced upon people and altering their mental state.
After a fair amount of recovery, Schauble returned to politics. But it was in this era when the 'black-money' business came over over Kohl and the inner circle. Kohl was basically kicked down from the Bundestag and Schauble never regained his potential to becoming Chancellor.
