Dear Nikola,

Thank you for your e-mail. I had been debating with myself
whether it would be too intrusive for me to re-initiate our
correspondence. Now, that you have implicitly authorized a
reply, I will do my best to be helpful and constructive.

My knowledge of the 1936 German Olympics about which you asked
is limited. I did not attend them, but my grandmother, who 
lived in a suburb of Berlin, took me to have a look, perhaps 
in 1936 or 1937, at the then recently constructed 
"Olympia Stadion". On a visit to Berlin in 1992, I stopped
there again, to refresh my memories.

Thank you especially for the URL of Leni Riefenstahl's 
documentation of the Olympic divers cascading from the high board.
which brought to my mind the Roosevelt quotation that there is
nothing to fear but fear itself, and arguably that is the ultimate 
freedom: freedom from fear.

In my last letter to you, I mentioned the importance of 
sensitivity to the effect of ones words on the person to
whom they are addressed - and incidentally, on those others
who might overhear them. I must take my own advice.
The circumstance that I don't know how you are, where you
are, or what your plans are, makes me uncertain about what
I should and should not write to you.

Please let me know if you would like a visit.

EJM
