2: The American Cure-Ail
How far can ' unconditional surrender ' be said to derive from a traditional American response to war as such? Can a deep-seated American belief in the total cure-all be detected in the ' unconditional surrender ' formula?
Mr Barker, who is Lecturer in Politics at the University of Bradford, examines these questions with the help of interviews he has made with, among others, HALF DAHRENDORF, LOUIS HALLE . W. AVERELL HARRIMAN , STANLEY HOFFMANN ,
ERNEST MAY , PAUL H. NITZE , ANATOL RAPOPORT , and DAVID RIESMAN

200.000 Thalers
Comic opera in three scenes and an epilogue: words and music by BORIS BLACHER sung in German first broadcast in this country Scene: the Jewish quarter of a small Galician town in the late 19th century
Blacher's new opera was one of the main events at the Berlin Festival last autumn. He based his libretto on a story by Scholem Aleichem. the Ukrainian Jewish writer who died in 1916. The humble tailor Sorocker thinks he's won a fortune in a lottery. So does everyone else, including the property magnate Solomon Fein. who installs him in a luxurious villa and proposes to marry his pretty daughter. She prefers to elope with a poor apprentice; but Sorocker had the wrong number, so Fein throws him out and the family end up reunited in their old shop, humble again but happy.
