LETTERS, Page 7Divided Cities
We in Jerusalem rejoice with the people of Berlin as they watch
the Wall come tumbling down (WORLD, Nov. 20). But we perhaps have
more reason than others. You describe Berlin as the only city in
the 20th century that "had a wall rammed through its innards."
Unfortunately, another shared that distinction: Jerusalem, which
from 1948 to 1967 had walls, barbed wire and minefields in its
midst. It was a sad place. United Jerusalem is not without
problems, but it is thriving, exciting and very beautiful.
Teddy Kollek, Mayor
Jerusalem
