Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Faces) 12/61 21) GERMANY'S "GRAND OLD MAN": for a while this year it looked \ as though Konrad Adenauer would be voted out of the political scene. But \ the venerable (85) "Der Alte" won yet another election and remained \ entrenched in his Chancellorship of Western Germany. \ Credit: Erich Lessing © 1961 MAGNUM PHOTOS
