A documentary programme assembled by J. M. Cohen
Much has been said about the liberalisation of Spanish culture. Censorship of books and periodicals and the ideological direction of students are said to be on the way out; a new press law seems to grant greater freedom, though it also imposes higher penalties.
J. M. Cohen has visited Spain to record conversations with various people in the intellectual world, both Castilian and Catalan, in Madrid and Barcelona.
