THE WALL IN THE MIND
Produced by Kirsten Garrett
---------------------------------------------------------
ON-AIR PROMO:
Gorbachev warned the East Germans as early as 1986 that unless there was
reform, Communism would die. They didn't listen - and in 1990 the wall
came tumbling down. Then change happened very fast.
Now there's another wall, a wall more stubborn, more difficult to breach.
Maybe nostalgia for the good bits of communism, but obstinate:
Die Mauer im Kopt. The Wall in the Mind.
Background Briefing, Sunday morning after the news at 9.
---------------------------
PRODUCER's SUPPLEMENT:
Ten years after The Wall came down, contention and frustration with
reunification continues between the two former Germanys.
Background Briefing takes a train ride through the once East and West to
solicit the reflections and present-day assessments of historians,
political scientists, politicians and observers of the new Germany.
