Imperial War Museum in London
Sue, I recognized that photo immediately, before I even read your post. IWM is my favorite musuem and London is my favorite city. Can't wait to go back. But I must admit I was a lot more interested in the Women in War, WW1 trench and Holocaust exhibits, along with Churchill's War Rooms at Whitehall, than in the Berlin Wall. I was only ten when the Wall came down, and the significance was lost on me. Of course, I realize it now, but it's now history, and other areas of history interest me a lot more.
So the end result is that I am of no help to Tzigone, so I now return you to your previously scheduled programming.
Oh wait, more comments about other people's comments:
As for Lois reporting on the event, I doubt she would have been there on that dramatic night I remember. But she could have made her way there in a day or two and covered some follow-up stories. The event was big news for quite some time.
That was during CK's travels, maybe he covered it freelance? Of course, he probably would have led with that in his interview with Perry intead of the gecko story
but hey, the great thing about fanfic is that you can rewrite history.
Susan (whose 10th grade history teacher, when discussing our school's "duck and cover in case of nuclear attack" policy, dramatically showed us how he would turn toward the window instead and defiantly flip the bird at the world. Ahhh...I'll always remember that guy!)
Susan, your comment reminded of my WW2 professor at Florida State - he described the famous photo of St. Paul's Cathedral surrounded by smoke in the Blitz as London flipping the bird at Hitler.
