"Whenever radical changes take place, such as the end of the Cold War; whenever crises occur, as happened with the Gulf War, and whenever unexpected events hit the headlines, as was the case when the Wall came down, the Aspen Institute Berlin springs into action.”

“It’s the unique combination of people and ideas and probing questions and discussion groups that allow you to think through a lot of important issues in the company of very smart people.”
