How much do you really know about the Berlin Wall? Why was it built? When was it built? What really happened in 1989? To answer all of these questions and more, buy a ticket to Berlin. Or, for a cheaper option, read on here .

Remember Mikhail Gorbachev? He's still prominent on the speaking circuit. With the anniversary of the end of the Cold War upon us, world attention has once again shifted to this former Soviet Union leader who fathered "glasnost" and "perestroika." His most recent take on the post-Cold War world can be found in the pages of Pakistan's Daily Times .

Some people spend most of their lives looking to do good. The AlertNet site by the Reuters Foundation, the non-profit arm of the global news ageny, offers a time-saving shortcut for good Samaritans. AlertNet  provides up-to-the-minute news and information on global crises, catastrophes and the organizations who try to bring relief. It also has the latest listings for jobs at non-governmental agencies.
