The heart of Berlin, cut in two for 28 years by the infamous Wall, is now a showplace.

Undergraduate Council Fee Hike: Nothing created a stir on campus last year like a stealthily proposed termbill fee hike.

After dinner he plays traditional songs--a favorite is Spring When I Was 19--on the three-stringed sanshin and makes an entry in his diary, as he has every night for the past decade. "This way," he says, "I won't forget my Chinese characters. It's fun. It keeps my mind sharp." For a nightcap he may have a sip of the wine he makes from aloe, garlic and tumeric...
