June 89: Tiananmen Square protests
November 89: The fall of the Berlin Wall
In another vein, but the same year, some great memories of the Chang-Edberg 1989 Roland-Garros final.
Making my way through the third volume of Mémoires d'outre-tombe of Chateaubriand. A real delight to read. Superb passages in the first two volumes about his youth and Napoleon's life.
