"[Willy Brandt] said: "Come back to my hotel room and we can talk." I went back and we sat down and he asked about my background and we talked and we talked and we talked. I didn't get out until three in the morning and everyone on the Guardian thought: "She must have gone to bed with him." Well, she didn't go to bed with him but she became completely reconciled to Germany because she had got to know Willy Brandt."
