Sir William Pile may well be owed £ 3.000-minion-so he disclosed as Chairman et the Board of Inland Revenue earlier this year. Many would argue that hi& estimate of debtors is modest. Moonlighting, the dodges of the self-employed, tax ' plans' for top people, and the activities of giant multi-nationals, all contribute to a growing sector of Britain's finance - the black economy. To the overworked taxman, it might appear at times a losing battle. But who is the real loser - the country, the honest tax-payer, or those confined by paye? In the second of an investigative series David Perrin surveys the battlefield with the help of experts - and practitioners. Producer RITCHIE COGAN

by Henry James
adapted for radio in two parts by D.G. Bridson

In his notebooks, Henry James wrote of an older man expressing regret to a young friend: 'live all you can, it's a mistake not to ... I haven't done so - and now I'm old. It's too late ... You have time. You are young. Live!' This anecdote was the germ of what was to become "The Ambassadors".
Lewis Lambert Strether, the hero of the story, also grows to feel the same regret. He has been sent to Paris by Mrs Newsome, a well-to-do widow in Woollett, Massachusetts, to bring home her son. If Strether succeeds, he will marry Mrs Newsome. But the sophistication and beauty of Europe and its society creates a shimmering web of mystery for Strether, the first of Mrs Newsome's 'ambassadors'.
