On February 22, 1907, Henry Kahnweiler, aged twenty-two, arrived in Paris to become a picture dealer. Shortly afterwards he met Picasso, then twenty-five, and became his dealer and friend. In this talk he remembers the Picasso of those early days and considers some facets of the artist's personality.

The value of brain models in studying animal behaviour raises questions of probability and randomness. If animals learn by trial and error, can machines be built to do likewise? What precisely distinguishes vital from physical?

Part 2
Two talks by F. A. Hayek Professor of Social and Moral
Science in the University of Chicago Englishmen, the speaker says, are convinced that their individual liberty is protected by a tradition summed up by the phrase ' the rule of law.' But the very fact that the name has been retained in current use appears to have prevented people from recognising that it has lost some of its original meaning.
In this talk Professor Hayek makes a fresh assessment of what is essential to the rule of law and compares the different processes by which it has developed in England and on the Continent.
