Where the public sets the agenda
When Breasts are Bad for Business
'Breast is Best' for babies - at least that's the theory according to the medical profession in Britain. In practice the message is different. Seventy-four per cent of mothers have stopped breast-feeding by the time their babies are four months old. Not least because the subtle way in which the baby-milk manufacturers promote their product through hospitals and clinics, has convinced them that bottle feeding is just as good. The result in Britain is unnecessary illness for some babies, but in parts of the Third World the result is catastrophic - millions of babies die or are permanently damaged each year.

A Forty Minutes documentary film
'There are two teams out there. One is playing cricket. The other is making no effort to play the game.' - BILL woodfull, Captain of Australia 1933. Fifty years ago cricket was riven by an acrimonious feud. The cause of the furore was the determination of England's captain DOUGLAS JARDINE to regain the Ashes at any cost. Against Australia's 'run machine' DON BRADMAN and the rest of the team, JARDINE unleased HAROLD LARWOOD , one of the fastest bowlers the world has ever seen. The story of that explosive tour is told by some of the men who played through cricket's darkest hour, and by the man whose bowling changed the ethics of international cricket for ever, the former Nottinghamshire miner-HAROLD LARWOOD.
