One border policeman stands near the
gas station checking everyone who wants to pass. There are few
people about. Very quiet. At the gate, no one is passing without a
permit. We stand very near to the two border policemen checking. A
young woman student without a permit asks for our intervention —
to no avail. But then she speaks again to the border policemen by
herself, and they let her pass! (She is very attractive and
personable.) An older woman without any ID begged and begged, and
finally went through. She practically kissed them. The three border
policemen who worked with the people were kind, quiet, pleasant and
firm (until they melted).
