Beer and Skittles
Life is looking good for the Germans: their prices are falling, their unemployment is falling. Unlike the Japanese their prosperity arouses no global resentment. Unlike the Americans they have no global responsibility. Grubby political scandals don't really rise above the level of tittle-tattle. On the surface it's all beer and skittles. But being the richest biergarten in Europe has its own strains.
Mary Goldring reports on what success is doing to West
Germany and the Germans. Producer PETER BROD
