"This period where uncovering Stasi involvement resulted in scandal is behind us," says social scientist Ralph Rytlewski of the Free University in Berlin. In an open letter, Runge said his Stasi ties were "nothing to be proud of." But if the shrug that greeted his story means Germany is through torturing itself over the past, it may also have to do with Runge's recent triumphs...
