I remember the Adlon, sort of

    The news of President Obama's meeting and dinner with Chancellor Merkel was in Berlin's fashionable Hotel Aldon. I remember the surroundings as the Akademie der Künste der DDR, where I did research on Heinrich Mann in 1976.

    In 2005 my sergeant and I stopped for a drink at the new Adlon. I had a beer, he didn't.
