The bureaucracy must have seemed more and more absurd! I was in Berlin visiting a friend the summer after the Wall came down and had a fascinating time wandering along sections of the wall, in and out of East Berlin, hanging out by the Brandenberg gate, which still looked over No-Man's Land. What I remember most was a great and surprising feeling of peace, and a great gratitude and excitement to be able to witness the early stages of such a huge transformation. Hi Michael,
