...alexander, sidecar, brandy stinger, pisco sour and brandy flip. History is an essential part of the syllabus. As Weber mixes a brandy alexander - a smooth drink made of brandy, crème de cacao and cream topped off with freshly ground nutmeg - his colleague, Beate Hindermann, tells us why German brandy cannot be called cognac. "It was prohibited in the Treaty of Versailles," she says. "And so German brandy will forever remain what it is - French cognac's little brother." By the end of the night, after absorbing Weber's instruction and concoctions, we leant a bit more heavily...
...commentary. So why not try public transport? It's cheap, it's fun to sit among the locals, and certain bus and tram routes are so scenic they could have been set specifically with sightseers in mind. Here's a roundup of the best routes: Berlin: Journey through recent German history on the No. 100 double-decker bus as it crosses from the former West Berlin to what was once East Berlin.

In one of its factories along the Blue River, a row of mammoth 2400° furnaces spin the plant's secret recipe of sand, soda ash, borax and limestone into billions of billowy glass fibers, which will be cooled, packed and cut into battens of fiber-glass insulation. The workers running...
...deal with rising powers. History has written an iron law about such powers' trajectories: First, they become rich, then rowdy. China is but the latest instance. As states consolidate politically and then take off economically, they begin to claim a "place in the sun," as the future German Reich Chancellor Bernhard von B?low famously proclaimed...
