by Patrick Kavanagh
In this radio essay the poet Patrick Kavanagh describes some of the reflections that passed through his mind while on a visit to London from Dublin. 'All the greatest experiences,' he says, 'the things we remember, the things our imaginations seize upon, happen in our childhood when we couldn't care less, when, in fact, we were thinking of other things.'

Talk by P. E. Russell
Students of Spanish history have often contrasted the vitality of the Spanish people and the inertia of their governments in the face of Spain's internal problems. P. E. Russell, Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, comments on the analysis of this contrast in Gerald Brenan's account of a recent journey in Spain, published under the title The Face of Spain. In the light of this analysis the speaker also considers the present position of the exiled Republican leaders as described in the autobiography of Alvarez del Vayo, Foreign Minister and Commissar for War in the last years of the Republican regime.
