Subject: Re: "Ich bin ein Berliner"



When I was in Austria studying German, my teacher told us that the word

"Berliner" does indeed refer to a jelly doughnut in some areas (every

little district seems to have different words for pastries). He said

that Kennedy's remark was, however, easily understood with its original

intent and was not the disastrous gaffe some people make it out to be.
