298 - On 15 August 1961, a 19-year-old East German soldier, Hans Conrad Schumann (1942 – 1998) was sent to the corner of Ruppiner Straße and Bernauer Straße to guard the Berlin Wall on its third day of construction. At that time and place, the wall was only a single coil of concertina wire. From the other side, West Germans shouted to him, "Komm' rüber!" ("Come over!"), and a police car pulled up to wait for him. Schumann jumped over the barbed wire, dropping his PPSh-41 submachine gun and was quickly driven from the scene by the West Berlin police. Photographer Peter Leibing captured this image of Schumann's escape. It has since become an iconic image of the Cold War era.

Schumann later settled in Bavaria. After the fall of the Berlin Wall he said, "Only since 9 November 1989 have I felt truly free." But he continued to feel more at home in Bavaria than in his birthplace, citing old frictions with his former colleagues, and was even hesitant to visit his parents and siblings in Saxony. On 20 June 1998, at age 56, suffering from depression, he committed suicide by hanging himself.

299 - Radio Row, NYC, looking east along Cortlandt Street, 1936

[New York City's Radio Row, on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, existed from 1921 (when Harry Schneck opened City Radio on Cortlandt Street) to 1966. It was comprised of several blocks of electronics stores, with Cortlandt Street as its central axis. The used radios, war surplus electronics (e.g., ARC-5 radios), junk, and parts often piled so high they would spill out onto the street, attracting collectors and scroungers. Radio Row was torn down in 1966 to make room for the World Trade Center.]

I recognize several of the men in that crowd outside the Coleherne, where I could be found frequently in the 1970s.

Tony Reeves, former illustrator of Britain's pioneering fortnightly newspaper Gay News, shares his memories of the famous Coleherne pub and the gay scene in and around Earl's Court in west London between the late 1960s and early 1980s ...
