...West Berlin. At 2 a.m. there were sirens, then the rumble of tanks on the East Berlin cobblestones. East German troops carrying rolls of barbed wire, concrete pillars, stone blocks, picks, and shovels leapt out of their trucks. Four hours later, millions of Berliners lived in a huge communist pen which over the next decade would be broadened and built into an automated armed fortress of steel and concrete -a fortress which stood as a monstrous rebuke to freedom...
Overfishing has depleted stocks of sturgeon in the northern Caspian Sea, and in response, Russia and several of its neighbors recently restricted their harvests of the caviar-bearing fish. That could offer an opportunity for U.S. producers of caviar from pen-raised sturgeon, led by the pioneering Stolt Sea Farm of Elverta, Calif. But do the texture and taste measure up?

And certainly the pen of Greenspan rarely writes penetrably...
Right now, in the middle of a Joshua-tree forest in southwestern Utah, there's a Folgers coffee can containing a pen, a notebook and a large rubber snake. It's just one of hundreds of prizes in the global scavenger hunt known as geocaching. All you have to do to win it is to make your way to 37.0939[degrees] N by 113.9429[degrees] W and pick...
