THE LAST CHECKPOINT

Pub Date: July 7th, 1971

Walter Eisler, Chief of State in East Berlin, former Communist thawed into Socialist, wants to take down the Wall; he also falls in love with a strictly verboten American woman and both are severely monitored by the Russians before he learns to equate Communism with ""gangsterism."" A barely adequate performance in the genre -- politically pfennigwise and romantically pound-foolish.
