...Berlin underused because only a dozen countries, all Communist, maintained full diplomatic relations with it. The West not only denied its existence as a nation but refused to call it the German Democratic Republic-its official name -insisting that it was nothing more than an extension of the Soviet Zone of Occupation. Then five years ago, Chancellor Willy Brandt relaxed Bonn's opposition to the East Berlin regime, and the G.D.R. began its long journey in from the cold.

Without any outside influence, the system would stimulate the rats' pleasure zones 50% of the time. If the rats could anticipate the computer by E.S.P...
