Amid Details of an Attack, Sad and Vivid Memories
To the Sports Editor:
Re “Hidden Details Reveal Munich Attackers’ Cruelty,” Dec. 2: In the story of the deaths of the athletes and the savagery meted out to them, I found memories flooding back of the American champion weight lifter David Berger from Shaker Heights, Ohio, who died there with the other Israeli athletes.
David Berger was a classmate and a dorm mate of mine at Tulane University in 1962 during our freshman year. He stayed in my mind long after I left Tulane for his warm nature, his intelligence and openness, and his commitment to Jewish learning.
