Review of Fall of the Berlin Wall
This marks the 15th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Mueller's thoughts on how Germany has changed remind us of what a short memory we have and how long progress really takes. These are lessons that are helpful for us to remember, particularly in a post-election polarized Nation. Even though the anniversary has passed this could still be broadcast during the ATC optional break.
