Abstract
A decade ago such issues as security policy, military strategy, and the like were not expected to affect mass publics or to limit the decision-making latitude of the political elites.

Some irritation arose, and thus the West Germans became polled more than any others in the latest survey of industrialized countries. As a result a large amount of data now is available.
