Leslie Gardiner recalls a return to the place of his war-time escape.
'Ribbons of mule-track . . . all tangled up with ideas of lost youth and romantic adventure in an Italy where it was always morning - morning and a teenage boy going places over the high pastures.
' " A date inscribed in the memory." says the café proprietor. "That day the British brought down 800,000 cannon. In every olive tree was a man with a machine gun. Church-hill himself ordered it." BBC Scotland

Here I feel like a newborn baby. I am going to live a new life, but just now I feel as if I am between two societies, between two lives ...
Sara is 30, and one of the 50,000 who have left the Soviet bloc in tfce last year to seek freedom in the West. For most, their country of first asylum is Austria, and their first taste of the new life a state-run refugee camp at Traiskirchen, near Vienna. As they wait for the offer of a permanent home, sometimes crowded 20 to a room, doubt and disappointment creep in. David Henshaw reports from Austria on this growing tide of East European refugees - and the conditions that drive many to risk everything to get across the border.
