Perestroika Epilogue
Summary
Prior, Louis, Belize, and Hannah are in Central Park sitting around the fountain of Bethesda. It is a cold, yet bright sunny day. They are discussing the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the state of affairs in Russia. Louis gives a breif history of the importance of the Bethesda Angel. She landed in a Temple sguare in Jerusalem and where her foot touched the ground a fountain shot from the ground. This fountain had healing powers, yet it ran dry when the Romans destoryed the temple. Prior's last words are of hope the world will continue to go around.
