Notes and topics

Holroyde writes to several BBC departments that four talks between BR and Lord Samuel are being produced. He includes the confirmed topics for the first two: "Should World Unity Be Our Aim?" and "Have the Last Five Hundred Years Been Worth While?". The latter will springboard from the 500th anniversary of the birth of Leonardo da Vinci into a discussion comparing today's world with that of the renaissance.

The last two talks have unconfirmed topics of the psychology of totalitarianism, and the desirability of new processes of Western democracy.

Holroyde is Senior Producer, Overseas Talks.
