1) They arrived in a beautiful morning, one of those morning of autumn, clear and cool, whose
coldness do not abate the afternoon heat, but it prepares and make it stand out . They stepped
down slowly from the truck,stopping at each instant before jumping, faltering under the impact of
the light and then slipping down as in a water whose bottom they don’t expected to be so close.After
the last one of them got out and without anybody saying a word, the truck left, they have tried to
look around, but, as if it had forgotten something, the truck stopped a few hundred meters away

speram ca nu o sa mai mearga in alt turneu mondial ! “ Premierul britanic Margaret Tatcher si
presedintele francez Francois Mitterand palind la gandul unui colos german.In retrospective ,
temerile lor se dovedesc a fi in intregime gresite.Departe de a merge intr-un turneu mondial,
unificata Germanie a jucat pentru audienta locala.Cliseul in 1960, atunci cand Germania de vest a
