Unlike most of his former colleagues, Dieter has found work -- this time as a regular policeman in East Berlin. He has started walking a beat, and earns a monthly wage of 1,600 East German marks, which is worth about $330 in buying power and is almost equal to his Stasi pay. (A few former agents have even found employment as policemen in West Germany.) But Dieter has lost a packet of coveted perks, among them paid vacations at choice resorts along the Baltic coast.

...Louis Roy, 74, who helped draft the popular 1987 constitution, was arrested, punched and, he reported later, threatened by a policeman who "said he would cut out my liver." Socialist party leader Serge Gilles was stomped on and hauled to the palace, where he was beaten again, then released; he has since gone into hiding. By week's end as many as 80 people had been arrested and five deported...
