in Los Angeles ' It's a town like any other town, filled with walking people, filled with the arts, filled with glamour and degradation. It has everything. It is in most ways America in microcosm, but more it is the cutting edge of America. What happens here happens five years before anywhere else in America. We send the style to the rest of the country.'

I The Springtime of Mr Botha

What the social changes, the upsets, and the new factor of soaring gold prices are doing to their lives, aspirations and jobs is the subject of the first of two programmes.
