| | New Statesman: Everything is so very new - Berlin, Germany (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | A new chancellor, a new government, a New Centre (Neue Mitte) at the political controls, a new generation come to power, a new capital, a new money (it is truly amazing how little fuss, in practice, Germans are making about replacing their beloved mark with the euro) and a new millennium just around the corner. |
 | | Berlin's loose atmosphere is also the right stage for the virtuosity of Fischer, the Greens' leader, who has convinced everyone he isn't playing for smiles alone when dropping his regular T-shirt-and-jeans garb for the striped pants of high diplomacy. |
