or What Socrates should have said to Thrasymachus by ANTONY FLEW
Professor of Philosophy University of Keele
Thrasymachus maintained that the man who acts justly is never acting in his own interests, but in the interests of whoever succeeds in exploiting his good nature. Certainly, morality demands genuine sacrifices: but does this make it irrational?
Hugh Burden plays every part in a dramatic fantasy of guilt and of its terror Written and produced by TERENCE TILLER with music specially composed by ELISABETH LUTYENS and conducted by MARCUS Dods

† by REX KEATING
Six years have passed since the launching of the archaeological campaign for surveying and salvaging as much material as possible from the Nile areas to be flooded by the building of the Aswan Dam.
Rex Keating of the unesco Seeretariat has been closely associated with the campaign from the outset. This year he travelled up the river as far south as the Dal Cataract, the extreme limit of the area to be ftooded. He talks about some of the Sudanese excavations and the light they may throw on early African history.
