...much of the period after World War II, both the G.D.R. and West Germany resisted serious examination of their collective culpability for Nazism. In the West, that denial poisoned relations between the generations, infusing Germany's student and counterculture movements with an anger not matched in other countries. A similar failure to confront the truth about the G.D.R. - its violent repression and the extent to which East Germans accepted and sometimes aided the regime - expresses itself in ostalgie, the rose-tinted nostalgia for a G.D.R. that never was. Ostalgie inspired the 2003 film Good Bye Lenin! and underpins the renaissance...
...striking geographical reversal.

Cries arose from purple-clad players and coaching staff alike as Harvard marched its way up field 15 yards en route to an eventual touchdown.Holy Cross faced similar charges twice more in the half, although the ensuing outrage from the home sideline and fans was not further provoked, since Harvard failed to score on both of those drives.—Staff writer Emmett Kistler can be reached at ekistler@fas.harvard.edu...
...been made linking India and China's current rapport to the ill-fated understandings between the U.S. and Japan in the early 20th century. Though in a vastly different context, the two countries, says Pant, are clandestinely probing and feeling out each other's geopolitical intentions in an eerily similar fashion...
