Once we sailed north of England, past Iceland, to Boston. There were constant storms, and one night aurora borealis was out. Lookout was on the bridge--you would have been washed from the bow the way a seatainer trailor was washed from its lashings. Standing there and sighting along the ship, you felt yourself rise with a rumble over a wave, plunging down into the black night water.

German bureaucrats "sit in their little chairs and become little kings," says Expatriate Charles Immler, who runs a small office-cleaning business.
