Sounds like someone should sue them for sex discrimination. :D :lifter

Males in the places Grameen operates are probaby too proud to apply for a loan.

PS, "Grameen Bank does not require any collateral against its micro-loans. Since the bank does not wish to take any borrower to the court of law in case of non-repayment, it does not require the borrowers to sign any legal instrument." :D

Here is what I have:

"With a fellow officer from the Geographic Section, he helped prepare for the European Advisory Commission a plan for the zonal administration of Berlin, and in so doing made one of his enduring contributions to German history: 'I pointed to the Grunewald and Dahlem area on the map and jokingly said, "This is where my relations had houses, this ought to be the American section."' The lines they drew have stood ever since."
Assuming you are talking about an American, he didn't choose the actual zones - the Russians did that - but he may have been the one that got us to put our country in the Southern sector blank. Of course, since we also got the Southern sector of Germany proper (which we didn't want), I think a less folkloric explanation is likely, if not as interesting.

This, BTW, was the US counterproposal from early 1944:

First off, despite the rantings of some conspiracy theorists, it was not George Kennan who proposed the plan for postwar occupation zones that placed Berlin as an enclave inside the Soviet zone.
Absolutely right. If anyone wants more info on Kennan, lemmie know. Wrote a paper back in high school on how Kennan affected Truman Doctrine (and later how that would eventually lead to NSC-68).

Jimbo-
I've asked this before, but I don't think you responded to the thread. Was NSC-68 advocating solely containment or also active attempts of supremacy on the behalf of the US?

Just curious,
Thanks,

Solid

Containment.
