Despite his leftist past--as a young man, he once spent seven weeks in jail and took part in street fights against the Frankfurt police--Fischer did not echo Chancellor Gerhard Schroder's anti-American rhetoric during the 2002 elections. "He understands the importance of U.S. leadership in the world and wants to channel it in the right direction," says Philip Gordon of the Brookings Institution.

Perhaps his emotions echo those famous words from The Godfather: Part II: "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart...
...significance as an othering device. I respect Adams’ right to exclude and make up its community as it pleases, even though personally that sort of behaviour is not for me. As far as I’m concerned, I would love to hear our concrete halls echo with the pitter patter of little froshers, and the class of ’07 should feel free to stop by anytime.
