Notes and topics

Holroyde writes concerning new talks between Lord Samuel and BR.

The possibility for extending such talks into a four-part series over the next three months has been suggested and agreed upon by Lord Samuel. The Transcription Service would like to produce an album of such discussions.

Lord Samuel has proposed such topics as "Should World Unity Be Our Aim?" and mentions that April 15 was the 500th anniversary of the birth of Leonardo da Vinci.

A discussion comparing the renaissance to today is then suggested as well as "Have the Last 500 Years Been Worth While?", the relationship of philosophy and science, and "In What Way will Democracy Develop in the Future?".
