It is 6.30 a.m. and I am sitting in Starbucks, supping my "coffee of the week" and trying to access my blog. It seems that while I can create posts and publish them, I cannot actually view the blog. The tendency is to think that my blog is being blocked. Of course, I will continue to write the blog, rely on friends to send me copies of the blog itself and just hope that this state of affairs can be sorted out as soon as possible. The "Frankfurter Zeitung" was allowed to pursue a sort of independent existence until it was banned after the attempt on Hitler's life in July 1944. Dr. Josef Goebbels himself once said that if there was only the party press to read, he would be bored out of his wits. Nevertheless, "zwischen den Zeilen lesen" was required to find any sort of independent opinion.
