George Barker and Marius Goring with James Reeves
In two previous broadcasts C. Day Lewis and Robert Graves read their own poems and compared their readings with an actor's. In this programme George Barker and Marius Goring take part in a similar experiment. After recording their readings of Letter to a Young Poet and To My Mother by George Barker , they meet to discuss their interpretations with James Reeves.

A discussion among scientists
Chemistry by Computation
The application of Quantum Theory to chemistry is proving very fruitful. Some scientists think that before long the chemist will have no need to experiment at all since computation (with the aid of electronic computers) will predict results without his having to touch a test-tube.

speaks on the reasons for writing his autobiography now
In an interview (in French) with Olivier Todd, Sartre discusses the essential problems that he will deal with in his forthcoming autobiography. He contends that Marxism is the only system of thought valid in our day and generation, and that in the present circumstances it is impossible that it will be superseded; and he speaks on the relation of psychoanalysis to Marxism.
