Businessmen, from chief executives to chief clerks, fly thousands of miles as casually as they once drove 50. Politicians and bureaucrats, professors and diplomats use the new mobility to solve problems, stir decisions, win accords more quickly. Industrial complexes, hotels, office buildings and even nests of nightclubs have sprung up around airports, just as cities grew around railroad terminals in the 19th century.

But in the looking-glass world behind the Wall, the Communists had a different version; they made it sound as though the West Germans had fouled up the show.

Manly ambition has begun to stir in the boy's child body, and he aches to join the men of his family. Sheepherders for many generations, they spend every summer with their flocks in the green grazing lands of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. So Miguel waits, but not idly, for his time to come. And for the viewer, months shrink into moments full...
