...there is a new kind of sorcery too. Springsteen ends Lucky Town with the eerie spirituality of My Beautiful Reward, which is a unique combination of a Van Morrison religious song and a Native American peyote dream.

This year, however, just in time for the Olympics, the sport is reborn with the banishment of the dreaded set patterns. What is left is an effortlessly pleasurable sight for the spectator.

With a peak membership of 2.3 million, it once embodied East Germany's political, intellectual, military and bureaucratic elite.
