Noam Chomsky: History is all too rich in records of horrendous wars, indescribable torture, massacres and every imaginable abuse of fundamental rights. But the threat of destruction of organized human life in any recognizable or tolerable form — that is entirely new.

In this, the final Europe tour episode we discover we’ve left the keyboard behind while traveling across the German border into Poland (and of course have to go back for it).
