| Summary/Abstract |
For almost three decades, I have had the privilege of observing the political, economic, soical and cultural changes in Germany. It was a period that was characterised by such terms as Mittelstreckenraketen (medium range missiles), pershing missiles, and the stationing of nuclear weapons on German soil. All this was accompanied by the NATO debate on the Doppelbeschluss, the double track decision put forward and championed by Helmut Schmidt.

| Summary/Abstract |
Canadians in particular are in danger of becoming as Europhobic as the British as a result of hostile media coverage of Europe. That is a mistake, because the EU portrayed by the British media as a bloated, antidemocratic superstate has been a success story in creating an economically powerful union of 27 countries.
