Lecturer in Industrial Economics, University of Leeds
Militancy is rare among white-collar workers-or so it is said. Then why the recent outbreak? Is this a major revolt? Are these workers moving leftwards politically? Dr. Allen, who forecast this outbreak of militancy several years ago, examines these questions. Second broadcast

All for Love was first played by the King's Company at Drury Lane in the winter of 1677-78. Dryden had previously advocated rhyme as the proper medium for tragedy, but in All for Love he felt a need for greater freedom of expression: ' In my stile I have profess'd to imitate the divine Shakespere; which that I might perform more freely, I have disencumber'd myself from rhyme. Not that I condemn my former way, but that is more proper to my present purpose.'

Last of three talks by PROFESSOR RANDOLPH QUIRK
First is to be heard a passage from Gud Nius Mark i Raitim, the Gospel according to St. Mark in the Neo-Melanesian language. This rich, consistent, systematised form of ' pidgin English,' spoken in New Guinea, is virtually a foreign language-differing as much from the English we speak as modern Portuguese, say, differs from the Latin of Cicero.
