For fear of an incident, the Bonn government nervously canceled plans to hold a symbolic meeting of the Bundesrat (upper house) in West Berlin. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer grimly called on West Berliners to "hold firm on the certain hope for reunification, peace and freedom." Needing no urging, tough West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt defied Ulbricht's warnings, addressed a mass rally at city hall to mark the eighth anniversary of the East German uprising.

We will not be able to answer, It was only a handful of Germans who in their insanity forgot...
West Berlin's bouncy Mayor Willy Brandt, 47, has been picking up pointers from the career of Jack Kennedy.
