Written by DANIEL FARSON
Howard Russell (1820-1907)
The despatches of the Irish-born Russell - probably the most illustrious of all war correspondents - shocked British readers in Victorian times with their passion and their pity. Florence Nightingale was inspired by his reports of the horrors of the Crimean War to travel to the Front and there succour the wounded.
Russell's original phrase ' that thin red streak ' entered history as ' the thin red line.'
In 1895 he was knighted after a journalistic life-span that covered the major European conflicts of the age and the American War of Independence.

Capital Punishment Reconsidered
Presented by Robin Day
Since 1965 Britain has been without the sanction of capital punishment for murder. Last month almost one-third of the House of Commons voted in favour of a Private Member's Bill to restore capital punishment for some murders. In the United States, President Nixon proposes to revive the penalty for some federal crimes.
In this discussion Analysis looks at the legal, moral and social arguments which seemed to have been settled in the 1960s but which are now arousing emotions again.
