GERMANY, Page 86Take That!
By EMILY MITCHELL
Egon Krenz is alive and well -- and seriously unemployed.
"Living without work is my biggest problem, and I don't think
I'll get a job soon," says Krenz, 53, whose hold on power as
Erich Honecker's successor lasted a mere seven weeks. Since his
fall, Krenz has kept busy jogging near his home in Berlin,
doing the family shopping and writing When Walls Fall, a
personal memoir and an account of the last days of the old
regime. While he was in a West German bookstore recently, an
East German walked up and slapped him in the face. Some review.
