A reassessment by Peter Porter
When Kipling died he had already outlived the period of his greatest fame. Since his death, attempts to reassess his work have been made by T.S. Eliot and Noel Annan, among others, but in this centenary year its full range and versatility have yet to be appreciated. The Australian poet Peter Porter believes that Kipling compels attention as a sort of Auden of the Right, whose insight into violence and control of the dramatic monologue give his best verse and prose lasting appeal.

No one denies the relative failure of town planning since the war to achieve its main object, a balanced environment. Is the Government as concerned with promoting more vigorous and imaginative physical planning as it is with the need for economic planning? From his position as former Borough Councillor and as head of a private planning consultant firm which has worked over a period of twenty years for many Local Authorities. Max Lock analyses some weaknesses in the structure of local government which he finds hinder creative planning and design.
