The High Chaparral is the home of a pioneer family in the newly won West; is the prize the settlers must hold against outlaws and Indians; and spells adventure in the wild Arizona territory of 1870.
Apaches are blamed when a cavalry troop is wiped out by marauding bandits. Big John realises that if a full-scale war between the Indians and the army is to be averted he must prove who really committed the crime. His race against time becomes a desperate one when the Apaches capture Blue.

This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.
Forty prominent journalists, diplomats, academics, soldiers, and other Middle East specialists gathered at St John's College, Oxford, for three days to play a game - a game of war, or what the gaming specialists prefer to call a crisis simulation.
The participants were divided into five teams, each representing governments, and they 'played out' the Middle East crisis; sending messages to each other, issuing ultimatums, mobilising troops, and plotting political assassinations.
This kind of 'game' has' become one of the exploratory techniques employed in many research fields, in business, in politics, in strategic studies, even in the teaching of history.
For all its intrinsic drama, how valuable is it as a technique? How nearly does it provide the social scientist with the equivalent of the natural scientist's laboratory?
