“You remember the old joke about the GDR, don’t you? The German Democratic Republic, otherwise known as “East Germany”?”

The rhythm of that saying about the GDR reminded me of Voltaire on the Holy Roman Empire. It may not have been holy or Roman or an empire, but it was pretty darned German.

Jay, thank you for this reporting. I am curious about the amount and type of security for this important conference. The phrase "high profile target" comes to mind. State-sponsored terrorism had to be a concern.

These reports from Berlin are stark—and, for me, remedial. Daniel Hannan recently posted to his YouTube channel a clip, an excerpt from a longer speech, to which he gave the title, "Americans forget what raised them to greatness." I'm grateful for your reminders, Jay, too.
