For Germany's army, which took symbolic control of Berlin after 49 years of protection by foreign armies, it was a day of promise for the future. For young leftists, the display was an echo of a shameful past.
"We came to Berlin as occupying forces; we stayed as protecting forces, and we leave as friends," Maior said.
BERLIN — Germany closed the book on the Cold War yesterday, bidding this once-divided city's Allied protectors goodbye with a grand military ceremony on a scale not seen in Berlin since World War II.
The German chancellor warmly thanked his "dear friends," the Western Allies, for establishing, then guaranteeing German democracy through the Cold War's most dangerous days.
The 77-year-old Mitterrand, who is battling prostate cancer, skipped the Tempelhof ceremony but called yesterday "a moving moment" in a speech at the orate Schauspielhaus theater.

The Napoleonic Society of America, a group based in Clearwater, Fla., will release the results of the FBI tests and debate their significance Sunday.
Using a few strands of his hair, the feds are trying to determine whether Napoleon's body was full of poison.

Napoleon poisoned? FBI tests will answer
Chancellor Helmut Kohl, in a speech commemorating the 1948-49 airlift that broke a Soviet blockade of Berlin, pledged that Germany is ready to share the military burden of keeping the world's peace.

British Prime Minister John Major, French President Francois Mitterrand of France and U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher led their country's delegations for the sentimental send off.
The history books say Napoleon died of stomach cancer. But some say the British murdered the deposed
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Tearful and angry faithful gathered at Sarajevo's cathedral yesterday for a Mass left hollow by the absence of the pope, as John Paul II, grounded in Italy by security fears, called on Serbs, Croats and Muslims to fordive.
The Vatican this week called off a one-day visit to the Bosnian capital planned for yesterday, saying the pope feared for the safety of the crowds that would have turned out to see him and worried that his pilgrimage could aggravate tensions in the besieged city.
Napoleon was exiled by the British to the remote island of St. Helena off southern Africa in 1815. He died in 1821 at 51.
During his exile, the British feared Napoleon might make another comeback, as he had from the Mediterranean island of Elba earlier in 1815 — an adventure that the British barely stowed at Wotadec.
But if Napoleon's hair contains arsenic, it won't necessarily indicate foul play, said Michael La Vean, a society board member.
He said arsenic was commonly found in licorice in Napoleon's day, and Napoleon was a licorice addict.
The pope addressed the people of Sarajevo on radio and television and delivered the same sermon he had planned to give if he had been present in the Bosnian capital.

The society decided to pay the FBI to test for poison and DNA after the hair's owner, Dr. Jean Fichou of Rennes, France, agreed to sacrifice a few strands.
