Since the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, the number of East German escapes to the West has been cut by more than half, and the figure keeps dropping almost every month.

Last year escapes from Yugoslavia, Rumania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania rose more than 20%, and so far this year they are up another...

And what seemed to be on their minds? How to keep Rumania's nationalist-minded government from bolting, for one thing. Some sort of rapprochement with the West, for another.
