Nasdaq looks to German alliance

Article Abstract:

The US stockmarket, Nasdaq, has held talks with the German stockmarket, Deutsche Bourse, over a possible alliance which could lead to a challenge to London stock markets. An advertising campaign for Nasdaq is already screening on UK television and another will screen in Germany from late June 1998 as part of Nasdaq's strategy to raise its profile in Europe. Some industry observers claim global companies will want to be listed on one international market in the future, rather than make a series of domestic listings. *

'But who do you say I betrayed?' (Markus Wolf, East German spymaster)

Article Abstract:

Major General Markus Wolf was the successful leader of the East German foreign espionage service for nearly 30 years from 1953. In 1993, aged 70, he is retired, but on trial for treason, bribery and espionage. Wolf was born and brought up near Stuttgart and had to escape from the country in 1933 as his father was a German-Jewish playwright and doctor. The family ended up in Moscow in 1934 and Markus became a Soviet citizen and communist. He was groomed for service in post-Hitler communist Germany.

An identity crisis in the East

Article Abstract:

The sudden collapse of the Soviet Union had a negative impact not generally recognised in the west. It deprived the countries of eastern Europe of the moral order which Marxism had created, and meant that people lost the set of values which they used to orient themselves. Communism gave east Europeans a sense of belonging to a strong civilization, even if they did not enjoy many civil liberties, but east Europeans are now generally regarded as people to be pitied.
