...most comprehensive of them, from constructivism to concrete art, is housed in Berlin's New National Gallery -the austere and nearly functionless square of glass and black steel that was Mies van der Rohe's chief legacy to Germany. This Prussian pantheon, overlooking the bombed-out paddocks where Hitler's chancellery once stood, is as perfectly suited to a constructivist show as St. Peter's is to Bernini's papal tombs; box and contents are one.

The "quiet" pool is surrounded by a high wall with a continuous gutter that spills softly along its top, keeping...
...well as at scores of theaters in the rest of West Germany, long lines of Germans have been lining up to see a new hit. The central figure-his black hair combed flat across his forehead, his impassioned voice exhorting his followers to build a thousand-year Reich-is der Führer himself. The 2½-hour documentary movie about him, Hitler-A Career, is the smash of the summer, drawing thousands to the box offices and spurring a nationwide re-examination of the Nazi past...
