Part 1

Recollections of Niels Bohr ty R V. Jones
C.B., C.B.E., F.R.S.
Niels Bohr was first known in Denmark as a footballer, but when ho died five years ago he was one of the foremost figures of the heroic age of nuclear physics. Professor Jones speaks of his associations with Bohr after he was brought to this country from enemy-occupied Denmark in the bomb bay of a Mosquito, during which he was almost suffocated because he did not hear the command to turn on the oxygen— his head was too big to take the headphones.
Produced by Harry Hoggan

Produced by Douglas Cleverdon
It used to be said that polyphony was invented by west European monks in the ninth century. But modern research shows that medieval polyphony had its powerful forerunners, remote in time and space. Multi-part singing has been a worldwide phenomenon since prehistoric times. It flourishes among primitives and peasants from the Solomons to Sardinia, in many ingenious forms from the organum of Naga head-hunters to the astonishing counterpoint of Caucasian mountaineers.
