BtZ42. Special Operations Executive, p. 5

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Don't want to play the party pooper, but when you consider that the 
NATO's secret stay-behind networks possibly were responsible for terror 
attacks like the one on the central railway station in Bologna or the 
one on the Oktoberfest in Munich, which both took place in 1980, I think 
you should, perhaps, refrain from calling the thing "wonderful".  There 
is a reality outside of books. I sometimes forget about this, too.
