This week: Shalom
The Hebrew word that means peace
It's two years since the week of death and destruction in the Middle East now known to history as the Six Days War. But since the ceasefire nearly as many people have been killed in the shaky peace as during the war. And in the meantime Israel has entered her twenty-first year of independence-still fighting.
As the politicians bargain and the death toll mounts, the strain on the ordinary people of Israel grows. If a nation is living with unease and fear, how do ordinary families react to the pressures? In Jerusalem the older children arrive earlier at school to search their classrooms for bombs. Shopping in city streets can end in disaster with a grenade explosion, a sniper's bullet, or a shell. On the border Kibbutzim armed patrols and dug-outs are still part of everyday life. No family has been untouched by death or casualty.
But still the word you hear most is the daily greeting of the Israeli people-Shalom, peace. Man Alive looks at the lives of Israeli families living under the stresses of that kind of peace today.

Nearly a quarter of a million people in this country are affected by epilepsy. But nowadays, in a great number of cases, epileptic attacks can be controlled by drugs.
In tonight's programme the Consultant Physician introduces a Professor of Psychiatry from a London hospital who explains what epilepsy is and, with the help of a large model of the brain, demonstrates the electrical impulses of the brain. Various patients tell how epilepsy has affected their lives.
