Three talks on Paradise Lost by William Empson
Professor of English Literature in the University of Sheffield
2-Adam and Eve
The reason why the Fall of Man feels shocking in Milton is that he makes God active in securing the paradox of the Fortunate Fall. But Milton does not express hatred of women; he gives the woman the decisive first step in the recovery of mankind.

A transatlantic dialogue between W. W. ROSTOW , author of The Stages of Economic Growth and MICHAEL IONIDES , former member of the Iraq Development Board.
Professor Rostow's theory puts all societies in one of five economic stages. Mr. lonides feels this over-emphasises the similarities between countries in the appropriate stages of development and ignores the immense differences which make the practical work of aiding the under-developed part of the world so difficult.
