A quarterly report on the world of employment introduced by Brian Redhead
The rise of hi-tech industries in Cambridge has been labelled the Cambridge Phenomenon.
It really began in 1970, with the creation of the first Science Park. But is the boom nearing its end? Are reports of it exaggerated?
And what job benefits are there for local people outside the world of hi-tech?
Researcher MARK SAGGERS Consultant JOHN ATKINSON

Five programmes eavesdropping on the wards, clinics and corridors of London's Middlesex Hospital. 3: Changing Attitudes
'Often our patients are regarded as end-stage, or dying.... but the bulk of them are not like that at all. They have a specific problem with which they have to live, rather than from which they're going to die.'
Overcoming the fears and prejudices not only of patients and the public, but also of other doctors, is one of the tasks faced by those caring for patients with cancer.
