[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] Program note

[Karen Medina]

Thanks Carl for telling us about NfN tonight, sharing Faust, and the
article (A NEW GERMANY? in the New Left Review)

For those who would like a translation of the Faust lines:
"Meine Ruh' ist hin, mein Herz ist schwer,
       Ich finde sie nimmer und nimmermehr..."
My peace is gone, my heart is heavy,
        I'll never find it, and never [again]...

BTW, David Johnson was also great on AWARE on the Air earlier this week.
