Linda- And a pretty good "industry" selling such items to Americans (recognizing the mistake in that also) and other tourists. I have an "Ich bin ein Berliner" doughnut key-chain a friend purchased in Berlin. She stated that there were several places that sold such "memorabilia" in Berlin- including coffee mugs, t-shirts, key-chains, etc.. So it is an interesting twist on their affection for JFK that they are willing to make a few bucks on misinformed US citizens- one way or another. (Though several German friends just think the whole thing is, "About as silly as we get!"). Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

Perhaps, but oft repeated by Berliners to Americans as well. That is where I first learned of the translation snafu. As an aside, if you are ever in Berlin, there are many amazing sites to see both historic and current. For the animal lovers and architectural aficionados on the list, the Berlin Zoo is well worth the trip. Best, Linda -- Linda M.
