3-The Atlantic Bridge A close and enduring association between Britain and the United States is, in Sir Oliver Franks 's view, a main condition of Britain's capacity to function as a great power. As Ambassador in Washington he observed both the need for this association and the many forms of friction which, on both sides of the Atlantic, at the same time accompany and impede its achievement. In this lecture he examines the necessity for intimate Anglo-American co-operation, and suggests some possible ways of curing misunderstanding.

Denys Hay speaks about the last volume of Steven Runciman 's History of the Crusades, which has recently been published. The speaker, who is Lecturer in History at Edinburgh University, considers some of the reasons for the death of the crusading movement and suggests that it marks the point when the idea of Christendom withered and the idea of Europe gathered momentum.
