A Runaway World? by Edmund Leach
Provost of King's College, Cambridge and University Reader in Social Anthropology
1: Men and Mature
The universe of tradition was tripartite. God created a fixed Nature as an orderly place for Man to live in. We now think of Nature as an evolving process but Man Is still a creature apart, an impotent spectator. Science has now given Man a god-like power to tamper with the processes of evolution-to alter ' the course of Nature.' But instead of rejoicing we are full of fear: everything suddenly seems out of control.
Sunday's broadcast (Radio 4)
This talk will be printed In' The Listener ' dated November 18

by W. P. KIRKMAN
The National Liberation Council now ruling Ghana has two basic tasks. The first is to purse the body politic of elements associated with Nkrumah, and in this the N.L.C. has already seen a large measure of success. The other job is to lay the foundations for the future health of Ghanaian society. Mr. Kirkman considers the question of whether the N.L.C. will. as it has promised, hand over its power to civilian rule; if it does. Ghana will have provided Africa with an important precedent.
