with Joan Bakewell
Moral issues are now making their own headlines. Behind the daily and often sensational news events lies a clash of views as to how people should respond as individuals and as a society. Joan Bakewell examines just such an issue: its social and political context and the dilemma it presents for those at the Heart of the Matter.

Yerkes Observatory
Yerkes Observatory, at
Williams Bay near Chicago, is a most unusual place.
Its main telescope is not a reflector, but a refractor - the world's largest.
Old-fashioned though it may look, Yerkes is in the forefront of scientific research, as Patrick Moore explains when he goes there to talk to the director,
Dr Al Harper , and members of the observatory's staff. Photography RICHARD ADAM Sound MARTYN CLIFT
