A report by Brian Widlake
Shell, one of the two biggest companies in the world - operating in 120 countries and owning 1,500 separate companies. Its sales last year were E15,000 million. In the North Sea alone it spends £li million a day. But statistics don't tell all the story of a company - particularly a multi-national one. Is big best? How sensitive to the needs of host nations is a giant like Shell? How much power does a multi-national oil company wield? How does Shell see its future?

John Julius Norwich at Brantwnnd When John Ruskin bought a house in the Lake District at the age of 54 he was at the height of his reputation. He was the greatest writer on art and architecture of the 19th century. Brantwood, which overlooked dazzling lakes and mountains, provided the perfect setting for a writer who had always had such a profound love of nature. Yet his life was as tragic as it was at times idyllic .. as sterile as it was creative, JOHN JULIUS NORWICH explores some of the paradoxes of Ruskin's life and achievement.
