Some history, and maybe a forecast or two

This article convinced me that long sentences are not for news articles. The topic is interesting --who is really running the show in Moscow?-- but the structure of the article makes for hard reading.

This is a really good article is about a great achievement--the fall of the Berlin Wall-- being attributed to different factors--, depending on whether you're in Europe or the United States. The author goes on to include other historical examples and current events--he gives us global perspective-- to allow comparison. By Inserting quotes from former foreign ministers and veterans in the field of international relations, the author imbues the piece with a serious, informed/informative tone.
