The pour- ing of hundreds of 'thousands of .East Germans into ^thewestern :sector of Berlin. is just the .latest in a -series of lightning "changes that have occur- red in Eastern . Bloc nations in the .past year. -However, 'there is ,something special about -the oming :down of the 'Berlin Wall. Said to be the only -wall built in the history of mankind to •keepspeople in, rather than invaders out, the Berlin Wall, constructed to 1961, -marked a low 'point in •relations between East and West. 'The momentous changes now occurring in .Communist countries have been' instigated by one-man, Russia's -leader Mikhail Gorbachev. While the nations of -the West have been hanging .back tryingsto .determine whether or not Gorbachev is for real, the man in question -has forged ahead. M!e perhaps foresees his own prediction of 10 years in power :leaves -much work in little -time, As a :result, the West now finds itself playing catch-up. At the same time, it, is quite possible the enthusiasm of Eastern -Bloc peo- pie with a taste of democratic freedom have ..already .pushed ',reform ahead of even Gorbachev's schedule. If this is the case, then these are exciting times with a ftightening edge. Considerable concern has already been expressed over West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl's stirring remarks about "one .Germany" -made in front of the Berlin Wail. Even so, an indication of just how -much relations have eased comes with the knowledge that' Europe's major worry about a unified Germany has more to do with economics than with 'military -threat. The Soviet Union has issued the statement that -no 'reunification of (er- tnany can be considered before *there has been a withdrawal °of .both NATO and Warsaw Pact troops from Europe, Few :people would argue with the ,logic.of, suchen .observation. if the demandsssof:-Eastern•iBloc: peoples are to be met, then military budgets -must be cut and cut drastically.

Now, I suppose, it all depends what awaits you on the other end of the phone. Myself I've found lately that the majority of the calls are solicitations for business. Either someone wants you to buy a ,subscription to something, they're offering 'you The convenience of avoiding 'the crowds by shopping at home (but want to come and visit you with more details) or they are giving you a 20 -minute spiel on how great a job they do"steatntng carpets.'Per- sonally I don't mind answering this type •of phone call if, 1. the person identifies themself and their purpose at the start of the conversation, and 2. if they let you get a word in before 10 minutes have elapsed.
