Eight programmes on the American point of view about various aspects of domestic and foreign policy
Introduced by PROFESSOR H. C. ALLEN
Commonwealth Fund Professor of American History at University College, London
8: America and the Outside World
The United States' dilemma in Latin America is very much the same as her dilemma in South-East Asia: whilst democratic governments do not exist, she believes that she can only prevent the spread of communism by military action. Although this has encouraged a certain inflexibility in American attitudes to the outside world, there is now a greater willingness than at any time since 1945 to criticise the Administration's foreign policy.

By the early Thirties painting and sculpture had begun to recover the experimental momentum that they had had in England immediately before the war. Groups and magazines like Unit One, Axis, Circle, the Surrealist Exhibition of 1936. the presence in London of leading Continental artists, were among the factors which helped to lay the foundations of a vital modern school in this country.

tby MICHAEL HOSKIN
Lecturer in the History of Science in the University of Cambridge
The music of the spheres is a familiar idea as a link between medieval music and medieval astronomy. In actual fact this concept went underground in a most curious fashion during the Middle Ages. It emerged even more curiously in the period of Copernicus and Josquin when the old Pythagorean dream of the heavenly harmony produced a remarkable pay off in the hard currency of technical astronomy.
These talks are among a number devised to accompany the current series of music programmes from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
