Soon after their wedding, the cemetery had been divided by a cinder-block barrier, part of a fortification some 100 miles (160 km) in length which would eventually consist of a row of reinforced-concrete panels, a second fence and a "death strip" patrolled by snipers. Its architects called the structure an "antifascist protection wall" but Berliners knew it simply as die Mauer - the Wall. It was engineered not to protect, but to imprison...
...second law passed by the legislature will set up new standards and funding for indigent defense appellate counsel programs.

Reducing the movie to adolescent fantasy prevents it from becoming even remotely frightening. Most of the acting...

It has less to do with all the pomp and circumstance and more with the smart aspect of fashion,” Calderin says. Yet he acknowledges that the local fashion week does...
