JOURNEY THROUGH A HAUNTED LAND, by Amos Elon. Following a long, thoughtful trip through Germany, an Israeli journalist writes of the "moral schizophrenia" and conflicting values that haunt the country a generation after the death camps...
...Photographer Jerry Cooke. Their entries also took much wangling, but once inside the country they encountered only minor harassment. Once, while Cooke was photographing the Wall from the western side, a soldier from the other side kept blinking a mirror into his lens. One frustration for the visiting journalist in East Germany is the obligatory, ever-present "guide," for whose services the government charges $40 a day. Nickel's escort was a friendly but ideologically correct type who called the Western correspondent "beloved enemy."

East Germany looks different. In order to concentrate on industrial rebuilding, the Communists left much of their cities in rubble.

As billions of dollars are spent on the revitalization of dying downtowns, as crumbling old neighborhoods are bulldozed away, as the past gives way to the present, a hybrid journalist is developing-the urban reporter-critic. Reporting, he keeps citizens abreast of what's going up and coming down, what city planners envision for the future. Criticizing, he serves as a civic conscience-denouncing the banal, calling for conservation of the historic or unique, pointing out that planners...
