The Best People yet Discovered '
Two programmes about Japan by Ian Mclntyre
The phrase in the title was coined by St Francis Xavier , but admiration for the Japanese is common enough in the modern world too: since 1945 their story has been one of almost monotonous success.
Today there are signs that the storyline may have to change, not least because President Nixon by his economic measures last year and by his overtures to Communist China has made many Japanese feel that the ground is shifting under their feet.
This week and next, IAN MCINTYRE , just back from Japan, presents his impressions of how the Japanese are facing up to new uncertainties. Producer GEORGE FISCHER
