Tonight's interview: Rt Hon Shirley Williams, MP
'I really don't like feeling myself disliked. I hate the infighting in the party.' Shirley Williams has made plain frequently that she doesn't enjoy all that politics have to offer. But she is a politician, nonetheless, and a successful one. The Cabinet changes have now given her two jobs: Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection, and Paymaster General. Some who've watched her career see her as an eventual leader of the party.
Ludovic Kennedy talks to Mrs Williams about her work and her view of Socialism.

Stuart Fisher, aged two months, died without warning on New Year's Day 1975. The child of loving parents, he was found dead in his cot. Why should a cherished, healthy child die so unexpectedly? Stuart is not unique, every day eight British babies die without any warning or explanation. In fact Britain now has one of the worst infant mortality rates in Western Europe, and these mysterious ' cot-deaths ' are the biggest single cause of deaths for the under-2s.
But medical research has now discovered clues which may help reduce this death-toll. Finland has drastically reduced its cot-deaths by concentrated health-care in the first few months of life.
Tonight's Horizon asks if we could do the same, and how long it will be before we can prevent the deaths of 3,000 babies who die like Stuart Fisher, without warning and without explanation?
The film is about the people who live at Woody Island, Newfoundland. In songs and pictures Valdy guides us through the working and social life of this fishing community amongst whom he lives.
