Dr. Perham believes that it realistic to see Africa today as a unity, with the new states all demanding the respect and the help of the world and the early liberation of the South from white rule. What part can Britain and the Commonwealth play in helping to meet these demands? How should we regard the entry into the continent of Russia and China?

Two talks about the future by SiR GEOFFREY VICKERS , V.C. author of The Art of Judgment 2: The Cultural Challenge

LAURENCE KITCHIN on Yeats
Mr. Kitchin argues that the enduring relevance of Yeats's poetry depends on his reconciliation of the grossness of experience with the glamour of art. He sees Yeats as both entertainer and realist, aware of life as a ' blind man's ditch' and at the same time preoccupied with its splendour and mystery as symbolised by the tower, in particular. the tower he lived in himself in Ballylee.
