A new campaign poster for Helmut Kohl -- designed by the German chancellor himself -- portrays him as a spa-dipping elephant under the slogan, "Keep Kohl." Opposition parties are ridiculing the poster, but Kohl, famous for his wide girth, loves it. It reflects a leader who is "steadfast and sensitive, even if that's not obvious at first glance," an aide said. Kohl is hoping it will help boost poll ratings that show him losing the 27 September general election.
