A sunny summer Sunday in June in 1973 . . .
Even the most patient cooker will go wild some day
. . . About wads of smoke streaming out of the kitchen window and the long way to the fire alarm

Mr. Hans-Christian Schilling

The exception -a phone-, nicely hard and with dial. . .
An urgent telephone call after 3 or 4 days. . .

Mr. Hans-Christian Schilling, translation: Ms. Margot Zimmermann

"Those who owned a private phone line in the GDR were secret police". . . of prejudice and facts.
The request written in 1978 . . . and the line was there, but only after 1985 after the death of a neighbor, who owned one of the desired telecommunication lines.

Mr. Dr. Erhard Liebscher, translation: Mr. Thomas R. Werner
