Berlin Wall Eight Years Old and Still Getting Tougher
The Berlin Wall marks its seven year anniversary with a higher, more fortified barrier replacing earlier sections. East German authorities surged 100 miles of frontier work, adding moats, tank barriers, fences, signal devices and a 14,000-strong patrol. West Berlin reports 63 known deaths, with 47 by gunfire, as travel to the West remains largely blocked.
