Forecasting the Weather The oak before the ash and we're in for a splash. The ash before the oak and we're in for a soak! If we could control the weather could we make the desert bloom, and have a bumper harvest every year. Could there then be a weather war? Has history been made by the whims of the weather, and not the feats of famous men? Is country lore more reliable than the long-range weather forecast? Hubert Lamb , Professor Emeritus of East Anglia University and founder of the Climatic Research Unit and Lionel Smith , agricultural meteorologist, are in the studio to answer your questions. In the Chair Judith Chalmers Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

(Broadcast: Mon 11.0 am)
In June last year 51 people died in a severe earthquake on the northern coast of Greece. Geophysicists are confident they know why it happened because of the insight they have now gained into the movement of the earth's crust. How far has the geophysicists' understanding of these movements and the ' engine ' that drives them progressed in recent years? John Maddox discusses this question with DR DAN MCKENZIE of Cambridge University, PROFESSOR JOHN SLATER Of MIT, and PROFESSOR KEITH RUNCORN of NeW-castle University.

Eureka!
Michael Oliver echoes the motto of the State of California when he discovers San Francisco - everybody's favourite city - from Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson to Jack London and John Steinbeck.
Founded by the Spanish in 1776 and perched on 42 hills, the city of San Francisco retains much of the atmosphere of the old ' Gold Rush ' days, the exoticism of the Orient and the excitement of a great cultural centre.
