...second part of the formula, the master draft was supplied "I Belive" which stated that for every drop of rain that falls, a flower blooms. Expressing both religious feeling and appreciation, if not understanding of nature's workings, it sold about a million records.

From the grape came the wine, From the wine came a dream to a lover," which pretty much rolls into one the kindness of the Almighty, the abundance of nature, and human...

They held especially high hopes for a wiry little Medical Corps orderly named Helmut Gollwitzer, for Gollwitzer looked like just the man to tell pious East Germans that Marxism was simply another brand of 20th century Christianity...
