...have a two-room flat at Limastrasse 12. It's nicely furnished for Berlin-there's a bed (but no sheets for six weeks), a couple of desks, chairs, and even a piano.

P.G.C. engineers carried on from there. Every day bulldozers roared out into the desert, every day the new asphalt highway stretched a few miles farther...
