The story of the Rio Balsas Power Boat Marathon
The State of Guerrero is one of the most arid and beautiful in Mexico. Once a year the canyons and the river are shattered by the roar of power boats.
Visiting crews from all over the world send their 600hp jet-boats snarling down the rapids at 70 miles an hour - The 400-mile race lasts five days and passes through rapids and canyons, lakes and the open sea. Each night the Mexican army build a barbed wire camp on the beach - bandits without, scorpions within. For the Rio
Balsas is much more than just a river race - it is a journey through Mexico.

Germany: the Miracle Fades Germany since the war has been envied by her European neighbours. Stable, prosperous and successfully combating inflation and unemployment, the German economic and political miracle seemed set to continue. But over the past two years daunting problems have emerged.
Unemployment has risen to a record two million, and a steady rise in living standards is no longer taken for granted. At the same time, doubts have been growing about Germany's role in NATO, and the fast-growing peace movement is challenging the very basis of foreign and defence policy.
As Chancellor Schmidt faces this formidable array of problems and challenges, David Jessel reports on the new uncertainties in Germany.
