In this light, Mikhail Gorbachev's outburst against Vladislav Starkov can be viewed as one more example of the unending adversarial tension between president and press, regardless of system.

LEAD: The Rothschild banking family ended an 88-year absence from Germany this week by opening an office in Frankfurt, the family's historic hometown. The Rothschilds, who had lived in Frankfurt since the Middle Ages, closed their last German firm in 1901.
