THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week: "Text, Lies
and Internet Chat Rooms". Humans have always been meeting, fancying,
and falling for each other. Much of the time this is completely
legitimate but some of it's downright sneaky. These days, whether it's
true love or pure lust, technology is helping us get together. [%]
2105 -
VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Bill
Berry--'Singing History'". 70-year-old Bill Berry reckons he's been
singing since he could talk. He made his name as a leading figure in
Australia's great folk revival of the 1950s. His repertoire of over one
thousand songs spans some of the great struggles of our times.[T;%]
2130 -
IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: "Arlene Judith Klotzko". 'A Clone of your Own?' It’s the
title of Arlene Judith Klotzko’s book and asks why we are so incensed
by the prospect of human clones? Identical twins are, of course,
clones and we survive them. Is it the waste of resources, the
extra-terrestrial con tricks, the vanities – or simply an abhorrence of
production-on-line people manufacture that makes us cross? Arlene
Judith Klotzko is a lawyer and ethicist at the Science Museum in
London. [%]

Saturday
0005 PACIFIC REVIEW* (refer to Fri. 1805)
0030 OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week:
"Genetically Modified Plants" (part 1 of 2). Author of "Seeds of
Concern", Dr David Murray is a scientist and conservationist. He
criticises both extreme positions of the genetically modified plant
debate and sets the scene for the eventual acceptance of some GM
plants. [%]
0045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "The Linguist and
the Emperor". Napoleon Bonaparte and Jean-Francois Champollion were
obsessed with ancient history. Napoleon's invasion of Egypt gave

of which had been a mystery for centuries. [%]

0130 THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet

business, to sport, science and the arts. Community leaders and quiet
achievers. They drop in, share their stories and play a bit of music.
0205 BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Factory Farming--Enough
is Enough?" Thomas Scully, the senior speech writer for George W. Bush
says we must face up to what we do to factory farmed animals. "One
common response is 'I don’t want to know …I don’t want to know.'
"Cruelty to animals is an abuse of power, and when people take
advantage of animals and do cruel and wicked things to them, they
debase themselves." [T;%]

0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at
the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week:
"The Power of Speech". How have modern Australian Prime Ministers, from
Gough Whitlam through to John Howard, understood and articulated a
vision of nationhood? Once Australia could no longer be defined as
white and British, how have our national leaders tried to redefine what
it means to be Australian? Political historian James Curran discusses
how successive prime ministers after the 1960s have each brought their
own historical and cultural perspectives to the problem of defining
nationalism in the wake of a British Australia. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week: an introduction to that most laid back of
games we call cricket and a visit to a most unusual cricket match that
pitted the talents of the people of Natimuk in country Victoria against
a team of Tibetan monks! We visit the Northern Territory to find out
how Ausssie Rules Football is used successfully to break down racial
and social barriers. Meanwhile near Canberra we stumble upon a team of
musical grape pickers whose vocal inspiration is found amidst the vines.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Meditation
and the Mind: Science Meets Buddhism". Last year the Dalai Lama joined
behavioural scientists and other Buddhist intellectuals at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in what has become a regular
meeting of minds. Can modern science make use of Buddhism's 2,500 year
investigation of the mind? Mattheiu Ricard, a Buddhist monk at Shechen
Monastery in Kathmandu and French interpreter for the Dalai Lama, and
neuroscientist Richard Davidson both think so. [%]

the Computer Revolution?" Is it the end of the computer revolution? "No

Gates. [%]

1455 CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK
1505 IN THE PIPELINE - This thirteen part radio series goes beyond
the current hype surrounding digital technology to examine the
challenges and opportunities it creates for Australia and the Asian
region. This week: "7-Windows of Opportunity". Some believe that the
introduction of new communication technologies will open up
opportunities for both hardware and software industries in Australia as
our traditional rural and resource industries struggle to sustain
economic growth. What possibilities are there for Australia to create
new jobs for the 21st. Century? Can Australia combine with those
countries in Asia who are developing information industries to forge a
regional IT economy? Can developing countries, leap-frog into the
global economy as some argue? And will the ‘information-poor’ become
the sweat shops of the new ‘information age’? [T;%]
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)

Part Two. When Paul Hasluck was appointed Commonwealth Minister for

for the Northern Territory. He was to oversee the development and
implementation of polices for what was then titled 'Native Affairs'. [%]
1655 PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.
1705 THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week:
"Mary, The Immaculate Perception". Who was Mary, the Mother of Jesus?
Should we trust the idealised image of her conveyed by the male
dominated church? Today, women theologians are reconstructing an image
of Mary from the Gospels and re-introducing Mary to women who think
she's "beyond belief" and irrelevant to their lives. Elizabeth Johnson
in New York and Bernice Moore in Sydney from WATAC (Women and the
Australian Church) explain their attitude to Mary and where they look
for spiritual sustenance. [T;%]
