This week: Living with Fear
Half a million people live with fear-irrational fear; often uncontrollable terror. They suffer from phobias; silly, odd things dominate their lives. Cures are being developed, but slowly and not always effectively. In the meantime, there is little comfort for those who panic in the presence of dogs or leaves, birds or visitors. The frustration of a life ruled by fear and the ridicule of friends and relatives who will not, and perhaps cannot, understand, often becomes intolerable. How do they live with it?

Today we are attacked by noise on every side - by traffic, transistors, drills, jets. French scientists have even invented a lethal weapon which uses noise. We no longer know the meaning of silence. Madge Ingram decides to do something about noise, and at last she finds silence; but when she does, she does not like it.
