* Germany. This was not all free. It was hideously expensive. And the
* repercussions --- I don't know what they are yet. I haven't talked
* to all the families.

* All my prints were badly damaged.
* 
* Some of them had been wadded up and thrown away and then taken out
* of the waste basket and flattened out again.
