That was the day that the Cold War's most tangible symbol—the Berlin Wall—was relegated to the ash heap of history. Unlike the 20th Century's other great conflict, the Cold War did not end in an explosion of neutrons, but rather, an explosion of human freedom and optimism. We had avoided what many thought inevitable—the destruction of mankind through armed conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. Overnight, the face of Europe had changed. Suddenly, all things were possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eThat was now 35 years ago.
