8.30 Research Report: 5: The Dam Builders
Eleven programmes looking into current research on the frontiers of science.
The building of a big dam is usually a major national project, costing millions of pounds. It is also a major structural alteration in the valley in which the dam is sited. The large masses of water contained put new, heavy loads on the surrounding geological formations. The construction engineers use specialised research by means of accurate model tests to help solve some of their complex stressing problems.

9.0 Politics U.S.A.: 5: Democrats and Republicans
Five programmes on how the American political system works.
Introduced by Roderick MacLeish, Chief European Correspondent of the Westinghouse Broadcasting Company and Malcolm Shaw, Lecturer in Anglo-American Comparative Studies at Exeter University.
The organisation of the two major American parties, and their function within their country's system of government, are very different from those of the British parties. But, contrary to common British belief, there is a similar ideological distance between Democrats and Republicans as between the Conservative and Labour Parties.
