A short story written and read by JANET HITCHMAN
Sampson worked the handle up and down like one possessed, but still no water came. For a few seconds he rested his hand on the pump head, his fingers tracing the raised letters of the maker's name, while the terrible fact seeped in. 'So that's it,' he said. ' We've gone dry.'

Water polo isn'what It used to be. As referee. Joe feels it his task to stamp out dirty play. The result ... ' One match you were refereeing ended with only two goal-keepers left lobbing the ball the full length of the pool.' Perhaps Joe's zeal is too great.

When Mephistopheles disguised himself as a priest
A study for radio of the divided personality of the composer and pianist Franz Liszt
On 25 April 1865 Liszt received the tonsure of St Peter 's. In fact he received only four of the seven degrees of priesthood. He could neither celebrate Mass nor hear confession; he could leave the priesthood whenever he wished and kept his options open even to marry if he so desired. He took apartments in the Vatican, and dined and smoked cigars with the princes of the Church.
