Thank you for your interesting report about the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall (“Behind the Wall’s Fall,” Europe, Nov. 8). The transcripts of phone conversations between former American president George Bush and former German chancellor Helmut Kohl underlined the personal friendship these two great leaders shared. But they also demonstrated the lasting support Germany obtained from the United States. The wall fell because America guaranteed the freedom and security of West Berlin, which had been an enclave deep in the German Democratic Republic for more than 40 years....

The announcement of Nixon’s trip was a bombshell. It came at the height of the Cold War when an amicable visit to one of the country’s fiercest and most direct ideological rivals at the time seemed inconceivable, especially from a staunch anti-Communist like Nixon.

Writer Andrzej Sapkowski and CD Projekt Red announced the new agreement in December, “solidifying their relationship.” But beyond confirming the developer’s ongoing rights to create graphic novels, board games and merchandise based on The Witcher, the new agreement might also pave the way for future video game sequels beyond The Witcher 3.

The production company who made Netflix’s The Stranger, Red, have created a Harlen Coben televisual universe of sorts in that region. Their other Coben production for Netflix Safe was also filmed in the area, while The Five (which aired on U.K. channel Sky One in 2016) was filmed in Liverpool, about an hour’s drive away from Manchester. As those adaptations of his work have all been shot in the same area, Coben admitted to Manchester Evening News that some locations have been used in more than one adaptation....

When I joined the FBI’s UNABOM Task Force (UTF) in July 1995, about a year after it was formed, it had been an active case for 17 years. The Unabomber had sent 16 bombs, mostly to universities and airlines, and three people had been killed. He had gone dark in 1987, and didn’t offend for about six years, but in 1993 he came back with a vengeance, which was why the UTF was formed....

While he did not have a memorable outing on a personal level, the match ended up being a nail-biter with the Men in Blue coming out victors by a slender two-run margin. The former U-19 World Cup member was trapped in front by Maheesh Theeksana inside the powerplay for just seven runs.
