' From the outset, I made It abundantly clear that Liberty, Order and Peace were the prime goals of all true statesmen. But the moment those statesmen reneged on the implicit trust the French nation had bestowed upon them, I used all the means at my disposal ... to pull the offenders from their high thrones. And while they sank I survived.'

2: The Lobster Pot
In his concluding programme about the new religious sects, William Nicholson concentrates on five groups - the Children of God, the Divine Light Mission, the Hare Krishna movement, the Scientologists and the Unification Church.
' They differ from each other in many respects, but they have this in common: they are buitt like lobster pots - easy to get into. and extremely hard to get out of.' Where the first programme investigated the sects' appeal, the second looks at the darker side - again through the eyes solely of past and present devotees.
