...been forced to cope with a major disturbance. To be sure, there are some signs of disquiet. Some 1,135 East Germans last year managed to flee over the wall to the West. At one point during last week's celebrations, 200 restless young East Berliners paraded down Unter den Linden chanting: "Eins, zwei, drei, Sex!" But they knew better than to shout anything more defiant-such as demands for political reforms. Culturally, Ulbricht maintains such a tight rein that most of Evgeny Evtushenko's poetry is proscribed, and even some recent Soviet films have been banned...
...delighted to see Nixon because of all the Western Europeans, they feel most dependent on U.S. military might. Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger will meet the President at Wahn airport and take him by helicopter to his modernistic bungalow in the Palais Schaumburg park to begin their private talks unter vier Augen (among four eyes). From Bonn, Nixon will make the ritual visit to West Berlin, where John Kennedy made his historic "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech from the city hall steps in the spring of 1963. It will be a difficult act to follow. U.S. and German planners have scheduled...
Right v. Right. Bonn's policy, from the early days of Konrad Adenauer through the present regime of Ludwig Erhard, has never publicly changed. Official West German maps label Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia Zurzeit unter Polnischer Verwaltung (temporarily under Polish administration), and Germans still refer wistfully to Wroclaw as Breslau. Bonn argues that until a reunited Germany negotiates its final World War II peace treaty with the Big Four (as called for in the 1945 Potsdam Agreement), Germany's boundaries remain those of 1937-the year before Adolf Hitler began his Gross Deutschland annexations...
...longer very easy to tell East Berliners from West Berliners simply by their clothes. The deadly gloom of East Berlin's Unter den Linden has lately been relieved by a couple of fashionable boutiques and some six-story buildings of aluminum and glass. The ponderous, ugly neoclassicism of the Stalinist era is shunned by the city's chief architect, Joachim Mather, 40, who draws his inspiration from Manhattan's Lever House. But to step into glistening West Berlin is still not only to step into another country; it is almost to visit another planet...
Only on some sections of Under den Linden, where many buildings have escaped bombing or been restored, does one feel some of the grandeur of old Berlin. Walking up Unter den Linden past the City Library (with a large iron plaque informing visitors that V.I. Lenin spent 1895 at work there), past the magnificent old buildings of Humboldt University, past a monument to the victims of Fascism, one comes to the Museum of German History: a very strange museum indeed...
