That Sovietologist had written a major article in the early 1980s for the newly elected Ronald Reagan-George Bush regime--in which this Sovietologist had outlined that the Kremlin was then already being torn asunder by the ascendancy of Doves (whom Gorbachev would join) , i.e. leaders in the Kremlin who were interested more in détente with the West than in the Breschnev-Andropov policies of the previous decades. However, the CIA leadership in the 1981-84 period told that young Sovietologist to "stuff it", i.e. the Hawkish Reagan-Bush regime at that time was not interested in hearing about the ascendancy of Doves in the Kremlin --while NATO and the USA was busy blowing away trillions in the biggest arms buildup in peace time history.
A PICTURE OF A WALL ON PAGE 9
On Monday, November 2, 2009, on p. 9, in the BERLINER ZEITUNG was a photo and a map of a wall. As I looked closely at the photo and map, I smiled at the obvious irony.

You see" all around one in Berlin this month, there are expositions, tours, memorials, and museums commemorating the memory of the various East German Walls and the Collapse of the STASI (State Security) Regime.
However, what was shown on p. 9 of the Berliner Newspaper was of a man standing on a ladder leaning against a large cement wall, built to separate permanently neighbors from neighbors. The title under the picture was: "Locked Out." The text under the photo in bold read "A Man looks over the Great Israeli Protection Wall to the settlement of Nilin, which is [actually] located on Palestinian territory."

Beside the photo of the solitary Palestinian (p.9) looking over the Israeli Wall at his own land is a settlement map of Western Jordan, i.e. the West Bank. Below the map is the statement that 470,000 Israeli Jews live in the occupied territory of West Jordan. (In addition, another 190,000 Israelis have occupied and live in Arab territory in and around Jerusalem.) Some of the Israeli settlements have 30,000 Israeli settlers on them.

Interestingly, the photo and map are missing from the online version of Nov. 2, 2009's BZ (Berliner Zeitung). However, the message of the photo of the Apartheid Wall of Israel and the map of the West Bank were not lost on German readers of the article on Hillary Clinton in Israel, written by Inge Guenther. The headline on that same page 9 read: "Hillary Clinton supports Nenayahu" and his reasons not to fully stop settlement building in Israel.
The decision to introduce the photo and the map during the 20th Anniversary Wall celebrations and reunions in Berlin are a clear editorial comment that no-such walls are really acceptable to the peoples divided by them.
SWARM INTELLIGENCE AND COLLAPSE OF WALLS
Similarly, there was a photographic comment or editorial made by the publishers of WELT KOMPAKT, another Springer newspaper publication in Germany, on November 2, 2009. The Kompakt newspaper is like a Readers Digest of articles from the more famous DIE WELT newspaper in Germany. The article of interest to me was one on "Swarm Intelligence".
Interestingly, DIE WELT had published an article last August with the title and same photo you see on this link below. In that article, entitled BIOLOGISTS RIDICULE THE IDEA OF SWARM INTELLIGENCE, DIE WELT writer Matthias Glaubrecht reveals that many biologists do not consider "swarm intelligence" as being intelligent at all.
