† P. J. Proby talks to the author of Battle for the Mind
A chance meeting between this unlikely pair-a physician in psychological medicine, and the wildest of the pop idols-revealed more common ground than one might suppose. For twenty years the doctor has been studying brain-washing and conversion techniques. In this conversation with P. J. Proby he shows how the technique a pop singer uses to work up an audience relates to his research.

by IDRIS PARRY
The carnival of Christmas is followed in theory-sometimes even in practice-by the calm of Boxing Day. The whole idea of carnival is occasional climax-you can' always be crowning your individuality with a paper hat. Afterwards should come relaxation into unity with a less hectic world: that of the folk tale, where stones and trees come to the help of a hero, and a common language is spoken by the druid and the wren.

Part 2

by JOHN KEEP
