This week: The Mood of America: 4: The Way Ahead
In three films so far John Percival and a Man Alive film team have examined three aspects of a society, feared by many to be on the brink of chaos.

Top Washington lawyers like Joseph Rauh strive to bring about an end to corruption in trades unions, to produce trust between management and men.
Black militant leaders like Sidney Walton despair of ever, legally, obtaining a fair deal for Negroes, and now look forward only to revolution and violence. Young student radicals like Elaine Wellin believe the voice of campus protest will be silenced, if necessary by bullets, before the administration pays it heed. Government advisers like economist Professor J.K. Galbraith fear for the future unless there is action soon.

In the studio these people, and leaders of Nixon's administration, discuss the way ahead.

Introduced by Jack Pizzey
The Kennel Club of Great Britain recognises and defines 111 different breeds of dog. No other domesticated species has been bred to so great a divergency of shape, size, and character.
Selective breeding of dogs and the development of miniature and toy varieties can cause weaknesses and congenital defects.
Breeders and the veterinary profession are now uniting to try to correct these problems.
