*LIFE IN COLOUR*_* RED part 2   Red, the color of human blood, symbolizes passion, fire, love, and anger. In Eastern cultures, it also connotes luck and prosperity. Red occurs throughout nature, from dying stars to dying leaves, and humans have evoked its powers for everything from politics to sports.     The fleeting shadow of a San (Bushman) child races across a red wall in Welkom, South Africa. Like many San the boy's family lived as squatters for nearly two decades, forgotten by African governments.   A red car sits on a dirty and deserted side street in communist East Berlin. East and West Germany were reunited in 1990  after 45 years of separation following the end of World War II.     Musical legend Chuck Berry holds his cherry-red guitar during a performance at a music festival in Aspen, Colorado. With early classics like "Rock, Rock, Rock," "Go, Johnny, Go!" and "Johnny B. Goode," Berry is considered one of rock-and-roll's pioneers   A teenage worker uses dye-stained hands to hold a tangled nest of red yarn. The boy lives in Khulm (formerly Tashkurgan), Afghanistan, a town noted for trade in sheep and wool.   A geisha in Kyoto, Japan, applies the blood-red lipstick that completes her traditional makeup. Modern geisha carry on an ancient profession; they privately entertain Japan's rich and powerful men and maintain total confidentiality.   A Maryland maple tree shows off the flaming foliage beloved by "leaf-peepers. " Experts say most people judge the quality of each autumn's foliage by the prevalence of red leaves.   Sumac leaves glow red in the autumn light at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. The grassy prairie landscape is dotted with shrub thickets of sumac and dogwood, which are favored by birds and small animals.   Nothing can dampen the enthusiasm of Taipei schoolchildren gathered for a celebration of Double Ten, Taiwan's national day. Double Ten remembers the October 10, 1911, revolution that ended China's last dynasty.   The College of Cardinals, the Catholic Church's highest-ranking clergy, meets in Vatican City to elect new cardinals. Supreme among their tasks is the selection of new popes, who traditionally come from within the college itself.
