German President Under Scrutiny

Bild, Germany’s most-read newspaper, said the president called its editor, Kai Diekmann, on Dec. 12 and left a voice- mail message expressing anger at the forthcoming story and threatening legal action. Wulff called Diekmann back two days later and apologized for the tone and substance of the previous call, Bild said in an e-mailed statement today.
