J. R. Pole, Reader in American History and Government at the University of Cambridge, and Vice-Master of Churchill College, examines the judicial campaign as an American way of fighting issues through the courts instead of using elections and legislatures to attain political aims. The campaign in the courts in turn becomes an appeal to public opinion with the aim of influencing the judge's decision.

Mozart's String Quintet, in G minor (K 516)
DARTINGTON STRING QUARTET with BRIAN HAWKINS (viola)
Hans Keller 's wordless method of analysis is designed to show how contrasting themes, rhythms, harmonies and movements hang together: the unity of all contrasts is thrown into relief by way of an analytic score that is linked with the complete movements of the work.
Part 1: Analytic introduction - first movement - analytic interlude - minuet - analytic postlude
