Observing the U.S. as a German I will even as a member of the after World War II generation always remember how the USA helped to re-establish Germany (at least the Western part of it).

These things among others contributed to the myth of a country that can fix problems and will always play a leadership role in the world.

When you stroll along the streets of New Orleans you might happen to pass a small Christian community with a nice church. Right beside the church on a brick wall you see a large board with the names of 210 people written on it.

Let's talk about the inexpressible

There were times when pickpockets and loose women were regarded as likely bad for one's health, reputation and overall existence. Since then things have supposedly changed a bit and become more liberal - in terms of sexual relations. This might turn out as a theoretical assumption in some parts of the USA. I have tried (without crossing lines of course ...).

After 23 years they will shuffle off their mortal coil - tells a postcard one of the waiters at Restaurant Florent in New York's Meatpacking district hands out to the customers who haven't heard yet.
