Part 1
The Berlin Wall stands as both symbolic and concrete testimony to the post-war divide between East and West - witness to the war of words and nerves which has blown hot and cold with the changes in political climate. As Churchill said, ' Better jaw, jaw, than war, war '. And so it has been for 30 years. But today, as Russia and the Warsaw Pact countries continue their massive military build-up, creating, as some believe, not only nuclear but conventional arms superiority, what happens if and when the talking stops? The message to Belshazar, burnished on another wall, over 2,500 years ago read: ' Thou hast been weighed in the balance and found wanting.' In the first of two programmes, Lord Chalfont weighs the military balance and comes up with a critical interpretation of what he sees as today's Writing on the Wall. Presented by Ludovic Kennedy ,
