DAVID CREASE in conversation with J. M. RICHARDS
In spite of the political changes in Brazil the building of the new capital has gone forward. It is now lived in by nearly 100,000 people, and it is fair to ask how the grand conception of a monumental city has stood up to the economic and practical realities.
David Crease is an English architect who worked with Oscar Niemeyer in Brasilia and is now practising there. Second broadcast

Talk by SIR LLEWELLYN WOODWARD until recently
Professor of History at Oxford and Princeton
Great battles are not always the decisive events they are taken to be: the changes most important for the future often pass unnoticed by contemporaries. Sir Llewellyn Woodward talks about examples of failure to see the wood for the trees and asks whether in our generation, although we are more conscious of the fact of change, we are likely to show any more perspicacity than our ancestors in recognising the turning points that occur before our eyes.

Part 2: Bruckner
Symphony No. 4, in E flat major (Romantic)
