...shock of Nov. 9, the day an embattled East German government allowed its people to cross their borders for at least a glimpse of the outside world, has yet to wear off. Those among the nearly 5 million people who, in little more than a week, made the journey cannot quite believe they did, and the faces of the thousands who pour through frontier crossings every day are bright with expectation. In Berlin, East Germans huddle over subway maps as they head into Western terra incognita, a place most of them know only from television; at other checkpoints their cars...
...Gati has found thinly disguised Jew baiting back in fashion in his native Hungary. One of the top-ranked soccer teams, MTK, was heavily financed by Jews in the 1930s before more than half of the Jewish community was murdered by the Nazis and their Hungarian offshoot, the Arrow Cross Party.

The tide of reform is not likely to reach Bucharest so long as its despotic leader survives. Any Rumanian bold enough to speak out is beaten, harassed...
...what a party it has been for the Germans. Through the Wall and the rest of the border fences, the flood of East Germans to the West continued all week long. Ten million East Germans -- nearly two-thirds of the population -- obtained permits to cross over. By the end of the week, upwards of 4 million had made the journey, crowding the autobahns and filling stores. Most had eyes bigger than their pocketbooks. They financed their mini-splurges with a one-time $55 in "welcome money" provided by West Germany...
