by Boris Gussman
The effect upon African peoples of the contact with European immigrants is today a major field of research; but are not the ' White settlers' also deeply affected? Mr. Gussman, one of the few social scientists who have studied European communities in Africa, believes that they commonlv show symptoms of what has been called cultural shock'; and that, in the same situation, most of us in this country would do the same. He suggests that, in the Africa of today, further investigation of this aspect of race relations is urgently needed.

Second of two programmes devised and introduced by Michael Pope
In 1908 ill-health compelled Parry to resign from the Chair of Music at
Oxford. Although he regretted this greatly at the time it seems possible that the loss may have been offset by the increased time he had for composition; it is noticeable that the works that appeared from 1909 until his death nine years later have a particular inward quality. In this his final period he turned his attention seriously to the organ, just as Brahms had at the same age, and also produced his finest set of unaccompanied choral works, the motets in the Songs of Farewell, which contain the matured essence of his art.
(The organ items were recorded in the Temple Church, London, by permission of the Treasurer and Masters of the Bench of the Inner and of the Middle Temple)

by Anton Chekhov
Translated by Nora Gottlieb Read by Peter Woodthorpe
'Bakhromkin, a civil engineer, was sitting in front of his desk at home and, being at a loose end, found himself sinking into a melancholy frame of mind.' It was at this moment that Chekhov's hero made his revolutionary discovery ... about himself.
