Maya Lin, who created the Vietnam wall memorial, was interviewed today by Amanpour on CNN.

The memorial media experience will be installed in places where it can be viewed and eventually put online (probably in 2011).

But the streams are no longer there, so now we supplement the water from a river further up in the valley," she explains...."
