Moscow television after signing SALT 1)
As the world shudders in the shadow of superpower confrontation over Afghanistan, Richard Nix on's words echo eerily, without the promise they held in 1972. So were the hopes placed in detente over-ambitious? Will the achievements in the fields of arms control, trade and diplomatic relations survive the cold dawn of the 80s? With contributions from many of the principals involved - including Henry Kissinger , Egon Bahr and Gerald Ford - John Tusa examines a decade of detente. Producer ANDREW VIVIAN
with David Scott Blackhall In this edition you can hear the result of the In Touch competition in which blind listeners were asked to devise a slogan on how best to help the blind: and Peter White adds his own wry comments on the ' art of coarse mobility.'

The blind leading the blind? It's meant to be helpful, but as DAVID SCOTT BLACKHALL (left) says: 'Most people are kind, but so often they try to help in the wrong way. They get between me and my guide dog, grip my arm and push me forward - when it's much easier and safer for me to take their arm and follow them - and people will point when I ask them for directions! ' Join David when he gets In Touch with other blind people tonight at 8.5 pm
