The Epcot Center in Florida is next door to Disneyworld, but it's not just there for entertainment. It was the last great dream of Walt Disney and it's designed to give the visitors who flock through it every day an image of past, present and future. Micro Live takes a look 'backstage' at the computers in control. The technologies of computerised graphics, text processing and printing are being brought together in a new way that allows almost anyone to do their own desktop publishing.

Hans Werner Henze at 60 with Simon Rattle conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra leader PAUL WILLEY
Hans Werner Henze is probably the most prolific and celebrated composer to emerge from post-war
Germany. In July of last year he came to England to attend performances celebrating his 60th birthday, and the most important event was the British premiere at the Proms of his Seventh Symphony.
This film follows the days of rehearsal, Henze's conversations with Simon Rattle , and his memories of half a lifetime in music. Photography JOHN MCGLASHAN Sound ALAN WARD

Presented by Russell Davies Film: the surprising success of Oliver Stone 's Platoon with both audiences and critics in America heralds a revaluation of the Vietnam war in American life.
Directors such as Stanley
Kubrick and Francis Coppola are also finishing films which provide a more realistic view of that war than Rambo or Missing in Action. Gilbert Adair looks at Hollywood's treatment of this traumatic conflict.
Fashion: the New Look, launched by Christian Dior in 1947, marked the end of wartime austerity - and perhaps also the end of the freedoms that women had enjoyed during the war. Forty years later the New Look has been revived by such designers as Jasper Conran and Jean Paton.
Elizabeth Wilson examines the return to constructive clothing, and asks whether it reflects a loss of freedom of movement in women's lives.
