Related excerpts:
"The Reichstag was filling fast. The galleries were were loaded with TV cameras. In one corner, members of the Berlin Philharmonic were taking their positions. The section reserved for diplomats, close to the front, was just behind the political elite. The Berlin diplomatic corps, with its morbid desire to spend time in the democratic vault of horrors, always turned out in numbers for Reichstag functions." (p. 417)
