Today he’s a wildly wealthy fund manager who got his start in business via a celebrity billionaire fraudster.

The so-called "palimpsest" fresco in Santa Maria Antiqua in Rome shows consecutive layers of paintings from the sixth century (Mary as empress of heaven) all the way to the seventh and early eight century. The level of detail is just amazing.

In many ways, iconic imagery of past protests are often a poor guide to the present because they are so deeply rooted in local conditions of a specific conflict and its informational environment.

In Germany, it’s often things like the closure of a community pool that becomes a flashpoint. So even the stupid short sighted option isn’t there.

Menschen sagen in eine ZDF-Kamera(!), dass sie ihre Meinung nicht frei sagen dürfen, weil sie schon mal auf Facebook gesperrt wurden. Ein soziales Netzwerk wird eher als öffentlich-rechtliche Institution wahrgenommen als die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen selbst.

Due to the accessibility of Western media, East Germans were familiar with West German parties before 1989. They had also experienced the Volkskammer election in March 1990.
