We all deal with a file the same way.... and that's far more significant than you might think. (DIPLOMAT, UK)
The British essentially designed the bureaucratic system because they don't trust Indians. So on every file they needed counter-signatures so that one Indian could keep check on the others. Now this has become an impediment to development.
(TRADE UNIONIST, INDIA)
The Westminster system of parliamentary government and an independent civil service were two of Britain's most significant invisible exports. In the second of six programmes, Nick Clarke examines how well they served countries with traditions and problems as diverse as Barbados, Malaysia, Kenya and India - and how they had to change their spots.
The first of six programmes
He was the original 'Public Enemy No 1'.
He deserves to die and has no right to live. He is not a myth, but a reptile who deserves to be crushed.
(JUDGE LYLE, CHICAGO 1930)
Capone's parents were peaceful, hard-working Italian immigrants in New York City.
Their son Alphonse became one of America's most violent gangsters. As a boy, between fist-fights, he enjoyed listening to a street-singer and an organ-grinder performing Verdi. As a man, Al Capone still went to opera first-nights, always with several large 'guests' wearing bulging dinner-jackets. Written and presented by Hugh Sykes
FEATURE: page 85
A special Analysis inquiry into how people's lives have changed since Mrs Thatcher became Prime Minister in 1979. Which of those changes would have happened in any case; which are the direct result of her Government's policy? How do people's personal experiences match up to the recorded facts? Four programmes presented by Mary Goldring with a public opinion poll commissioned for the series.
1: The Managers
Life at the top has more creature comforts, more freedom of action, more big prizes. It has also, in the Thatcher years, seen more real misery. How much of that misery was part of a worldwide recession and how much was directly attributable to the way the Government dealt - or didn't deal - with the rising value of the pound, rising wages, rising inflation and all the other economic issues of the 80s?
