Man Alive: The Mood of America: 4: The Way Ahead

on BBC Two England

Reporters Jim Douglas Henry, Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, Gillian Strickland, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

This week: The Mood of America: 4: The Way Ahead
In three films so far John Percival and a Man Alive film team have examined three aspects of a society, feared by many to be on the brink of chaos.

Top Washington lawyers like Joseph Rauh strive to bring about an end to corruption in trades unions, to produce trust between management and men.
Black militant leaders like Sidney Walton despair of ever, legally, obtaining a fair deal for Negroes, and now look forward only to revolution and violence. Young student radicals like Elaine Wellin believe the voice of campus protest will be silenced, if necessary by bullets, before the administration pays it heed. Government advisers like economist Professor J.K. Galbraith fear for the future unless there is action soon.

In the studio these people, and leaders of Nixon's administration, discuss the way ahead.
