The history of British rule in Africa is a short one - it began and ended almost within the span of a man's lifetime. In the third of five programmes Charles Allen talks to the men who were drawn to serve in the great desert lands of the Dark

Atlanta, Georgia, is the most flourishing city of America's new sunbelt. Martin Luther King 's battle over de-segregation has been won and political power lies in the hands of the Blacks - but economic power is still controlled by Whites.
Peter Paterson looks at two men from Atlanta -
Black Baptist clergyman, The Rev William Holmes -Borders, and Ted Turner , self-made millionaire and television mogul. Both men represent their community - both extraordinarily flamboyant, egocentric and autocratic.
