...Downfall, the 2004 Oscar nominee that focused in shocking detail on the final days of Hitler and his cohorts in the tight quarters of the Führer's underground bomb shelter. Long before then, his first big commercial success in Germany was the 1981 film We Children From Bahnhof Zoo, the story of - another shocker - a 12-year-old girl in West Berlin who gets hooked on drugs and becomes a prostitute to support her heroin habit...
...official German labor commissions in Athens, Madrid, Naples and Verona. The commissions administer health examinations, sign contracts stipulating wages, fringe benefits (up to 44% of the hourly cash wage), housing. Then the migrants are put aboard trains for their new jobs. Last week in Cologne's massive Bahnhof arrived 1,000 Spaniards, 300 Italians, 180 Greeks, 80 Turks and a smattering of 20 other nationalities.

Their men are proud of various civic monuments; their women are proud of their TVs and VWs; they all gossip an awful lot; none of them ever mentions World...
Hindemith had selected all the music for the concert, which was held in Berlin's Musik-Hochschule concert hall, nicknamed "Hindemith's Bahnhof" because of its modern railroad-station architecture. Included, in addition to Machaut and Hindemith's own work, were five intricate and austere pieces of church music by Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612) arranged for choir, some with instrumental accompaniment. Hindemith, a first-rate conductor, gave them all performances that Die Welt's critic found "almost overpoweringly impressive." Hindemith's own work, musical settings to four long passages from the books of Matthew...
