A review of the sciences.
Introduced by Christopher Chataway.

When is a Body Dead?
Medical advances have made it possible for 'life' to be maintained in an unconscious patient who has irrevocable brain damage and who might also be dependent on artificial aids to circulation and respiration. Is it now meaningless to define 'death' as the cessation of a heart beat? What are the immense medical, legal, and moral problems which occur if doctors shift their definition?

How to Win Friends and Influence People
Why do so many people have difficulty in communicating, or in simply getting-on with other people? Psychologists have now begun to analyse aspects of social behaviour-eye movements, facial expressions, speech hesitancy-in a way which they believe will lead to more pleasant and more effective human relationships.
