...with all its glitter and gold,'" Siggelkow, 39, says. "But in the wake of unification came unemployment and a dramatic rise in broken marriages. A generation of neglected children is growing up here." Even in West Berlin the mood is hardly upbeat. Julia Wahn, 30, who just finished her teacher training, is still looking for a job and has few prospects because of the education-budget cuts. "Germany is worse off today than a year ago and Berlin is the worst place to be," she says. "I have lots of friends who are unemployed. They make do for a while...
...boom never materialized. The result: more than 1 million sq m of office space now sits empty and many of the 210,000 new subsidized apartments are unrented. Yet new buildings are still going up.

...Clifton and Defence, this violence seldom penetrates their cocoon. They simply build their garden walls a few meters higher or buy another lion cub, this one in darker brown, perhaps, to match that Gucci purse. They're blithely unaware, for example, that when Qari Shafiqur Rehman, a Koranic teacher with burning eyes and a coal-black beard, walks by a McDonald's and sees these affluent Karachiites chowing down their Happy Meals, he feels "a deep rage" rising within himself. Rehman also belongs to Sipah-e-Sabah, an outlawed extremist group associated with a string of killings and bombings across...
