The Multipurpose Swop Shop
By°driving a car, taking a holiday, or simply watching TV you've earned yourself a place on three separate files; and it's estimated that up to 50 different databanks, many computerised, know who you are. Most of this ' fingerprinting ' activity is. it is claimed, ultimately for your benefit, but more and more information is exchanged between government departments, commercial institutions and private organisations, and Britain now lags critically behind other Western countries in controls over the potential abuse of such
' file swops '. Roger Cook asks who knows who you are - and how? Research by Robert Del Maestro

A series of five programmes on people who have played an important. sometimes decisive part in the life and work of a famous man or woman. 5: Dearest Mongoose by DOROTHY BAKER and narrated by David March
On 29 May 1912 Virginia Stephen accepted the proposal of ' the Jew with the trembling hands'. Leonard Woolf. They were apparently incompatible: she admitted to frigidity. and he to lust. But the marriage was a record of intelligence, hard work, immense achievement and great mutual love. Without the devoted care of her dearest mongoose'. Virginia Woolf would not have been able to fulfil her considerable genius.
