Topic Reading-Vol.198-10/26/2012

Dear MEL School's Topic Readers,
Postcard: Why Berlin and America are kindred spirits.
There used be a time when the city was surrounded and divided by a distinctive wall that allowed Westerners to enjoy their freedom and lifestyle while Easterners were watched and monitored not to go over the wall for defection, and if they tried, the watch guards had no hesitation to shoot them and many lost their lives.
That had been the scene over a few decades ago before the wall was torn down in 1989. Now Berliners still thank the US for their role during and post the Cold War but they also seem to realize that they are taking a similar role to revive Europe from the financial crisis.
Enjoy reading and learning about how Berliners think of the US politics.
