The disclosures suggest that Ms Witt, 36, who posed naked for Playboy in 1998, was one of the East German regime's most willing accomplices. Can that middle clause be any more irrelevant to the article? *g* I guess the author or his editor wanted lots of hits from the dark side of the Internet.

Headline:
Hollywood names Katarina Witt Woman of the Year!
To: Millburn Drysdale
She's apolitical. Quid pro quo, The DDR gives her some material wealth and be able to leave the country at will. She in return doesn't embarrass that former, sorry, little East German country.

Ms Witt,......... has since built an international career as a producer of ice extravaganzas. She was also a television commentator during the last winter games. I see that she is now eating at the table of the capitalist pigs. A reactionary. She has abandoned the struggle and betrayed her komrades. Re-education is called for.
Return her to a communist country immediately, where she may once again become a cadre of the fatherland.

Katarina Witt: a "useful idiot" on skates.......but a really good looking girl.
To: Millburn Drysdale
Exactly. What element of this story is any surprise, and why exactly is it a story?

This isn't news. She was developed by the State to be a champion, and she was loaded with perks. But she's right, she wouldn't have achieved such success if she was from the West. After all, the Eastern bloc judges and their supporters made sure that their skaters dominated the medals.

Wonder if this tWitt has every slept with Bill Clinton?
To: Sicvee
One reason it is a story is Witt's files are out and Helmut Kohl's are not. In fact, Kohl's case seems to have locked up all the Stasi files solid for a long time to come. So what gives with Katarina? Somebody after her? And why?

I'll wear a bag and hammer her regardless of her political I.Q.

Witt has been considered to be one of the world's 50 most beautiful women. She knows how to use it to her advantage.

I don't have novocaine for sex hormones. Witt fractures me with her skating ability and her beauty. But physical beauty in a woman is a matter of being born with certain mechanical dimenstion. Those dimensions do not guarantee any personal sensitivity or character, even with an angelic face. The fact is, there are many beautiful women who are hard as nails and not worth a shit. Being beautiful allows them to get away with it.
