Journalist in the City: Course evaluation
http://tswartz.blogspot.com/2005/04/course-evaluation.html
Journalist in the City. Sunday, April 24, 2005. I think my writing has improved slightly since I began this course.

Journalist in the City. Saturday, March 05, 2005. Despite mixed results, new Berlin generates infectious buzz.

Then, with the turn of a head, you see it: the Brandenburg Gate. From square to shopping mall. But just after the Wall-chipping party started on Nov. 9, 1989, developers began sali...
