	Could not have put it better auf Deutsch myself.  Far more 
interesting would be information about current political and economic 
events inside Germany and its satellite countries, particularly in 
regards to the class struggle.  For example, what of the rumors of a new 
austerity offensive by the Kohl government; what of the growing state 
budget deficit; or the left trend in the SPD; or relationship to the 
PDS; overall economic conditions; effects of the French strikes on 
German/E. European workers (it may have had some effect in Ukraine); and 
so on.  We get precious little about the outside world from the U.S. 
capitalist media, due to a systematic policy of censorship by their 
editors.  In exchange, I and others on this list can give you direct 
information about our own locales (in my case, the U.S., esp. 
California).  Look forward to hearing from you.
