This week: Mailer for Mayor
Most people know him as the man who brought a four-letter world of combat troops and their women into the bestseller lists with his novel The Naked and the Dead.
Tousle-haired, argumentative, radical, leader of America's belligerent intellectuals; a man who, like many, has joined issue against Government over Vietnam. And then, cheerfully and proudly admitting to his colourful past as a boozer, brawler, pot-smoker and public exhibitionist, he announced he wanted to be taken seriously - as a politician. 'I am the man to solve New York's problems,' he declared. But ten days ago New York refused to take him seriously by firmly rejecting him in the primary elections for mayor. So now it's Norman Mailer-political loser. But, with his running mate Jimmy Breslin, he fought a tough, under-budgeted campaign; and in a city where, traditionally, nobody stops to listen, he made himself heard. Man Alive followed Mailer through the sweltering weeks of his campaign to bring back this report of a man who lost-noisily.

If you get Hay Fever, Asthma, or a skin rash, you are suffering from an allergy, that is, you are sensitive to a particular substance - which other people may find completely harmless. It can be a spore from mould, pollen, house dust, or danders from the coats of dogs or cats.
Allergens like these can produce, in some people, quite serious diseases such as Farmers' Lung or Mushroom Workers' Lung. The most effective treatment is to avoid the substance to which you are allergic, but there are also a number of drugs which are now used in the treatment of allergens.
In tonight's programme the Consultant Physician talks to a Professor of Clinical Immunology from a London hospital and a General Practitioner.
