The Hosea Factor
When 3,000 Americans set up a major nuclear base in a Scottish seaside town of 9,000 people, social friction was inevitable. George Hume examines the dilemma of some Dunoon Christians who feel they should try to heal the divided community, but feel equally obliged to campaign against the base and consequently produce further division.

The BBC's Delhi correspondent Mark Tully travels to the land of the Tamils in south India, a region neglected by Raj nostalgia, though it was here that Clive first won his spurs. He finds many contrasts with the more aggressive north - among them film stars who dominate politics, ancient Hindu temples and rituals undisturbed by Muslim conquest, and a distinctive vegetarian cuisine. But he also sees signs of a resurgence of Tamil nationalism, fuelled by the threat to Tamils in neighbouring Sri Lanka.

3: It would be a travesty to say that Guy suspected Apthorpe of lying. His claims to distinction - porpoise-skin boots, a High Church aunt in Tunbridge Wells, a friend who was on good terms with a gorilla - were not what an imposter would invent in order to impress. Yet there was about Apthorpe a sort of fundamental implausibility. with PETER BALDWIN.

Every day, all over England, people place and read advertisements in lonelyhearts columns. Whatever happens to them? For some, the experience has proved disappointing, sometimes comic, and occasionally fulfilling. 'It's not something which should be the subject of music-hall jokes - it should be somewhere where ordinary people who are on their own can meet people easily and quickly.'
