A study of the work of the architects who built the ' Siedlung ' (Exhibition Estate) at Weissenhof, near Stuttgart in Germany. The white-stuccoed. Hat-roofed buildings were designed by men who were later to become famous, such as Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. How far does the architecture match up to the architects' ideal of making ' new ways to live'?

Films of early exploration introduced from the Royal Geographical Society by Duncan Carse Pearls and Savages (1921)
This film (some of the first ever to be shot in the South Seas) is the story of an early expedition to ' the vast mystery island of Papua, inhabited by savages, largely untrodden by white men'. The commentary demonstrates well the flavour of the period. The expedition filmed pearl divers in action and the arrival of the first sea-planes ever to be seen in Papua. They witnessed spectacular dance ceremonies, grotesquely-masked witch doctors and finally, pressing ever deeper into ' the lawless realms of cannibalism', they discovered a real bonanza'.
Stuffed heads. Not just skulls - which were plentiful-but human heads!

Breaking the Silence
Rachel was sexually abused by her father from the age of 3 to 16. Neither her teachers nor family welfare workers would or could offer help. ' I don't think they wanted to know, to be honest with you - it was as though it didn't really exist.'
At least 1,500 cases like Rachel's are reported every year. Many more are simply ignored, because the questions raised are considered too uncomfortable. A recent report by child care experts says- 'In our view, awareness of the extent of child sexual abuse is as limited as was awareness of physical child abuse in the late 60s'.
David Henshaw reports on the ways in which both victims and professionals deal with the problem, and looks at radical new schemes, both here and in Holland, to help the children who suffer in silence.
