After graduating from Columbia College in 1997, Nick Kulish got a job for the New York Times and is now serving as bureau chief in Berlin. He has written a number of fascinating and important stories for the Times, much of it focused on the new, multi-cultural, history-laden realities of contemporary Germany: from hockey-playing ex-Stasi officers to the search for a high-ranking Nazi who lived undercover in Egypt for decades. Recent articles have dealt with Germany's strategic importance for the war in Afghanistan, the Pope's controversial endorsement of a Holocaust denier, and the re-emergence of legendary film studio Babelsberg ("Metropolis"), where Tom Cruise, Kate Winslet and other Hollywood stars have recently made movies.
