Berlin I've always had a soft spot for Nicolas Sarkozy. He was the guy with the wrong name and the wrong background who took on the smug talkers with names like Dominique de Villepin and vanquished them.

''It's forbidden to forbid,'' proclaimed Daniel Cohn-Bendit, the French-born German Jew who led the May '68 Paris uprising. His slogan, silly-looking now, was less important than his border-crossing identity, a rebuke to countless European silences, prejudices, taboos, lies and murders. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
