...attempted gaiety to the music of a prewar Harry James record. Pathetic crowds surrounded the few booths selling candied apples or thin bits of herring on hard rolls. Missing was the pungent smell of broiling sausage, for an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease has made meat, and especially beef, scarce in East Germany. Across the street from the carnival, a lone, scraggly Christmas tree shared its place with the huge model of a Russian rocket...

They walk along the corridors in the evening trying to guess who is having the roast rack of lamb, the corned beef and cabbage, or the Liederkranz cheese. It is a very easy game, but the Lalky incinerator system often provides a handicap by giving off all-pervading whiffs of old eggs and sour milk...
