The True Babel
Scandal is one of the oldest ills the body politic is heir to. When it erupts, some people are confirmed in their view of politicians and others in their view of human nature.
Was Robert Louis Stevenson right when he said ' the true Babel is a divergence upon morals '? What do we mean by public morality, and how free are our attitudes of humbug?
Analysis examines some of the implications of recent events on both sides of the Atlantic in a discussion between
CLAUDE BOURDET , French writer and politician
DUANE LOCKARD , Professor of Politics, Princeton
JOHN SPARROW, Warden of All Souls College, Oxford
Chairman Ian Mclntyre
Producer ANTHONY RENDELL
