a little behind the times
So I read in the paper today that it's THE Israeli minister who's here for a visit--Prime Minister Olmert. (My German's not so good when it comes to governmental titles...and my knowledge at any given time of which important world figures are where would probably bring Mr. J. William Fulbright to tears.) He is staying in one of the hotels on Budapeststrasse, in the most secure presidential suite in town, the one with bulletproof glass. One thousand Berlin police are out in force to protect him. And they not only have tanks, but snipers on the rooftops too.
