This month the United States Congress is 200 years old - and the anniversary of the first meeting of the Continental Congress in September 1774 is marked by a ceremony at noon today in the House of Representatives at which the broadcaster Alistair Cooke , author of the BBC2 series America, will make the major address.
This invitation makes Alistair Cooke the fourth native-born Englishman to address Congress. The others were Prime Ministers Churchill, Eden and Attlee.

English Nurse with the Tsar's Army
When the First World War began a young Englishwoman was living in Moscow, governess to a wealthy Russian family.
At once Florence Farmborough volunteered as a Red Cross nurse to work among the wounded at the front. For three years she shared the privations and sufferings of the last of the Tsar's Armies, until Imperial Russia collapsed around her and the Revolution prevailed. And all she saw she recorded with her glassplate wooden camera, on pictures probably now unique.
MISS FARMBOROUGH'S story and her photographs are an extraordinary record of the end of an era, the last days of Imperial Russia and the rise of the Bolsheviks. She eventually escaped from the disintegrating war front by the Trans-Siberian Railway to Vladivostok, and finally to England, where at 87 she lives among her mementoes of the tumult of history.

by Martin Worth
In the small French town of Arbois stand the graves of Louis Pasteur 's three young daughters. Two had died from typhoid, one from an inoperable tumour-a stark reminder of the background to his struggle to find the cause of disease.

2: Shawbost, Isle of Lewis
Living on an island appeals as an idea to a great many people, and the Scottish Hebrides have a special ring to their name. But is it so very different nowadays growing up there than anywhere else in the British Isles?
The children of Shawbost build up their impression of life on the island in their songs and sketches, drawings and poems.

Inflation
Introduced by WILLIAM HARDCASTLE What Can We Do About Inflation? In Monday's Controversy (BBC2), the American economist MILTON FRIEDMAN gave his provocative answer and faced questions from an audience of economic experts.
