Bucharest this week moved between memory and promise: at Cotroceni, Nadia Comăneci received the country's highest distinction, fifty years after her perfect ten in Montreal, while across the city's neighbourhoods, long-delayed pledges may finally be taking shape — Mayor Ciucu announcing a funding source for the stalled works on Prelungirea Ghencea. Two gestures, one turned toward the past and one toward the future, together saying something about how a city tries to make peace with itself.
