Boopy Goes to Berlin



Boopy Goes to Berlin

A Cold War memoir.

By William McGowan


Like many journalists, diplomats, and spies who lived and traveled in the old Eastern Bloc, I still have warm feelings for the Cold War.
In my case, though, the sentiment precedes the time I spent overseas. In fact it dates back 50 years or so to when the Berlin Wall first went up, when I was 5 years old going on 6. This was when Boopy, our family dog, suddenly disappeared from our suburban Westchester County home.
(what to tell your kids when pets die - my father had a good solution)
