: friends whose native language differed from mine. I have
: walked through the streets of London and seen its cathedrals
: and houses of state. I have poled a boat down a river near the
: Black Forest. I have walked through Flanders' fields and picked
: out the horrors of 1915 from the grass. I have been under the
: earth both in centuries old catacombs and a decades old
: underground fortress. I have hiked through the Alps, climbed
: up to innumerable castles and ruins, and tramped through
: endless streets in several countries. I have boated through
: canals in two different cities. I have stood in a concentration
: camp and felt the lingering malignancy that permeates it. I
: have crossed communist checkpoints in China, and newly
: capitalist borders in Russia.
