Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring.

A month ago B.M.C. and Leyland merged their interests in a £400 million company called British Leyland. It is now the sixth largest motor manufacturer in the world, making every kind of vehicle from Minis to double-deck buses. The man behind the merger was Sir Donald Stokes, who worked his way from apprentice to boss at Leyland's in thirty-seven years. He became Britain's top exporter, sold buses to Cuba, took over Standard Triumph in 1961, and Rover five years later.

The High Chaparral ...is the bid of a family seeking roots in the newly won West
...is the threat to the new settlers from Mexicans and Indians
...and spells adventure in the Arizona territory of 1870

A ruthless woman seeks revenge against the Montoyas, and the Cannons are inevitably involved.

Four discussions from St. Catharine's, Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park.
Chairman, John Mabbott

Discussion opened by Professor W. H. Thorpe, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge.

In the beautiful setting of a grace and favour house, St. Catharine's brings together students of many subjects to discuss the implications of their discoveries.
Last summer a very mixed group - senior and junior, students of the sciences and the arts, of philosophy and theology-met to consider the question 'What is a man?' These programmes are an edited version of their conversations.
