Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall and build an open-concept kitchen! But when you turn the Guardhouse into a fast-food walk-through, don’t forget to replace the original staff. Oops. Now serving warm Pepsi and prison sentences at T.G.I.Freiheit, a terror-state rebrand by F&C*. We welcome you to form an orderly line in our convenient pedestrian and tank lanes. Bring your appetite and your papers. Our informants tell us you’re hungry.
