Cost: about $1,000,000, hopefully to be raised by subscription...
...many years in postwar Germany. "Most of what I have read about Britain in recent years emphasized the changes taking place here," he says. "Perhaps that was why I was surprised, having come from a country of almost total change, to find so little here." To Ball, the rebuilt Germany has an airport-terminal newness and sameness; Britain impresses more by its age and continuity and settled ways ("Where else would a Dickensian wine dealer advise about a '57 Burgundy in kindly but firm tones: 'No news from that one at all yet, I'm afraid...
