...Germans have learned to live with the Berlin Wall and the deadly, 830-mile barricade that divides the rest of their nation, on neither side have they forgotten or forgiven its existence. The most eloquent evidence of East Germans' refusal to accept Sovietization is that 16,456 of them have risked their lives and fled to the West since the Wall went up.

The arbitrators sided with
Wraysbury Weathers It Sir: Your June 28 article on Christine Keeler was to the point, but inaccurate in its description of Wraysbury as a "dingy town," though you may be forgiven for noting that some of our 700-year-old buildings have lost their first freshness! You see, for more than a thousand years Wraysbury has never been anything but a village...
