Vague Memories-Nadia Comanechi's defection (1989), according to my recent research.
Thoughts/recollections on the fall of the Berlin Wall 19 years ago- I remember that at the time it seemed like it was a really big momentous occasion. The breaking down of the Wall meant that the Communists were attempting to pursue capitalism. A unified Germany meant that the country as a whole could be a part of capitalist culture. Now it seems that it symbolizes the larger global community and economy, with the US still acting like "Big Brother."
