The city fathers have renovated some of the oldest and finest buildings, including the twin-spired St. Nicholas Church in the historic heart of Berlin.

"When the construction is finished, there will be more cafes, restaurants and beer gardens," says Rolf Liebold, a spokesman for the Berlin City Council.

...note, some reporters at the conference seized upon and overplayed a report by Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health. Fauci revealed that one of his AIDS patients had regained his health and returned to work after treatment that included a bone-marrow transplant from his identical twin. Whether the patient has been permanently cured remains in doubt, and two other victims who received the same therapy have not improved.
