1: Treasures from the Vault Narrated by René Cutforth
The U.S. Armed Forces Courie,r Centre was a squat concrete building in a guarded corner of Orly Airport, near Paris. Armed military couriers regularly flew in from Washington with top secret documents which were inventoried and locked in the Centre's vault until more armed men arrived to deliver them to destinations in Western Europe. The documents contained the fundamental defence plans of the West, including the cipher systems in which ultra-secret messages were transmitted. The centre seemed to be impenetrable, but by a million-to-one chance the Soviet KGB had a fantastic bit of luck.
A series of six programmes based on the book The KGB by JOHN BARRON. Adapted and produced by ALAN BURGESS

"With the victory of the Parti Quebecois ... the crisis is now, and the challenge is immediate. I believe that Canada cannot, indeed that Canada must not, survive by force." (Pierre Trudeau)

Is the problem facing Canada really so serious and immediate? Will the federation split up? What has the separatist victory in Quebec done to business and political stability in Canada's other provinces?
