A discussion between Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber and J. G. Weightman
How far should one carry obedience to the dictates of conscience and political belief when these conflict with one's duties as a citizen? A number of desertions from the French Army and recent arrests of Frenchmen for helping the Algerian rebel organisation in France have posed this problem for young Frenchmen who may sympathise with Algerian aspirations to independence. Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, editor of Express, who was himself called up a few years ago to fight as a lieutenant in Algeria, talks about his own experience of the clash between conscience and duty with J.G. Weightman, Lecturer in French at King's College, London.

by Richard M. Titmusa
Professor Titmuss attacks the increasing concentration of economic power which, he suggests, gives institutions such as the big insurance companies and pension funds an arbitrary and a critical role in the shaping of social policy. He further maintains that in this age of affluence there exists a small minority still living in a continuing state of poverty who fail to benefit from the increasing wealth of the community.

In these pastoral dialogues (composed during the reign of Charles I) the theme, whether dramatic or frivolous, was usually love; the characters were mythological or pastoral. The form was essentially dramatic and in its use of recitative foreshadowed the evolution of opera.
