"At the age of 15, I appeared in court charged with stealing a meat pie from a British Rail buffet bar. The judge found me guilty but insane. My defence was that the pie followed me home. I mention these incidents from my past when I broke the law because tonight I shall be dealing with the subject of crime."

The Rt Hon Roy Jenkins, President of the European Commission and formerly Home Secretary, and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, gives the eighth in this annual series of lectures.

'As a forum of national debate, the House of Commons has declined. The great clashes of party principle and the conflicting convictions of major personalities have mostly given way to a sterile exchange of unconvincing slogans and mutual recrimination, to a background of unedifying noise. Roy Jenkins examines the present state of the British political system. He questions whether our traditional stability has now turned into rigidity, and asks how we could improve the form and content of our politics.

The colour of a star - red, yellow or white - shows their different temperatures and, by using spectroscopes, it is possible to find out which materials exist there.

Not all stars are alike: some are red, some yellow and some white. These different colours show their different temperatures, and by using spectroscopes it is possible to find out what materials exist there. Patrick Moore and Dr Jacqueline Mitton explain what stellar spectroscopy has told us.
