Today: It's the week in review; your chance to have a say on any of
the topics we have featured on the program this week. Our four topics:
Should a thirteen year old be allowed to change sex? Are we doing
enough to prevent birth trauma? Is it too soon to be debating the

THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week: "The

Microsoft and Bill Gates, but the reality is very different. From a
standing start in the 1950s the software industry is now the fourth
largest industrial sector of the US economy. Martin Campbell-Kelly
talks about the fascinating history of an industry that continues to
transform our lives. [%]
2105 -
VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Little Pattie".
Part of an occasional series about the life stories of Australian
entertainers, this interview with Patricia Amphlett (better known to
you as Little Pattie), is one of the gems from our archives. From
discovery at a talent quest on Sydney's Maroubra Beach, through teenage
stardom (when 'Real Gone Surfer Boy' hit the charts), her years on the
road (which included a life-changing tour of Vietnam during the war
years), and her strong commitment to social justice, Patricia Amphlett
talks about a career and a life lived to the full. [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: "A Clone of Your Own?" (part 2 of 2). Arlene Klotzko asks
why we're so incensed by the prospect of human clones. Is it the waste
of resources, the extra-terrestrial con tricks, the vanities or simply
an abhorrence of production-line people? [%]

-----------
Saturday
0005 PACIFIC REVIEW* (refer to Fri. 1805)
0030 OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week:
"Genetically Modified Plants" (part 2 of 2). Dr David Murray, author of
'Seeds of Concern', continutes his discussion of the genetically
modified plant debate. This week he looks at various crop plants and
the unexpected consequence of genetic modification to achieve herbicide
resistance. [%]
0045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "The Infinite
Present". Journalist and broadcaster Sian Prior explores the ubiquitous
use of the present participle in the media. Film-makers are obsessed
with the 'ing' in movie titles, from 'Finding Nemo' to 'Bowling For
Columbine' to 'Saving Private Ryan'. [%]
0105 ASIA PACIFIC WEEKEND EDITION* (refer to Fri. 2205)
0130 THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet
people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary--from
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: "Chemical Consequences".
Some batches of 245-T were made from contaminated ingredients of Agent
Orange illegally imported into Queensland and Western Australia during
the Vietnam War. This kind of common weedkiller was used until the
early 1990s. Now at least one state government is finally confronting
the effects. [T;%]
0255 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK* - background to the news.
0305 RURAL REPORTER* (refer to 1905 Fri.)
0330 AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY STYLE (refer to 1930 Fri.)
0405 BOOKS AND WRITING - in-depth discussions focusing on books,
ideas and writing with Ramona Koval. This week: Douglas Glover, a
wonderful Canadian short story writer and multi-awarded novellist,
writes about dazed and confused human beings, gives breath to
historical figures in the great Canadian landscape and can even make
you cry with his tale of the last two dinosaurs on Earth. In a session
from the recent Blue Metropolis Literary Festival, Ramona Koval speaks
to Glover about his funny short stories and about the unique way he has
of retelling Canadian history through his novels. [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 Road To Delphi". The ancient Greeks eagerly consulted oracles for
answers to all sorts of questions they had about the future. The
responses were notoriously ambiguous and often misinterpreted by the
seeker. But the oracle always turned out to be right. There's a rich
narrative tradition of oracle stories, from Oedipus to Macbeth to The
Matrix. Michael Wood discusses the hopes and fears that are embedded in
our desire to know about the future. Oracle stories, he says, offer us
the image of a knowledge that might be perfect, but that always remains
just out of reach. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The

is one of the great classics on the mind and its discontents. Sue Clark
travels back in time to contemplate the legacy of the great tome's
author, Oxford clergyman and scholar Robert Burton. [%]

global leader and we're rapidly slipping behind. Earthbeat explores how
Australia could reclaim its place in the sun. [T;%]
0905 THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Seas
Collapse--Global Warming?" We hear about a team from San Diego's
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which has been testing the seas
off California for 50 years. It recorded that plankton has
diminished by 70%, fish by 50% and bird life by 30%. Is it due to
global warming? [%]

1405 BACKGROUND BRIEFING (refer to 0205)
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: "#8- The Paperless Office". In the global push for
speedy data transfer, governments and business alike are busily
installing the pipelines for the digital revolution. For some time now,
computers have been a dominant fixture in every office. But the digital
pipeline is extending beyond the office. Increasingly it is allowing
more and more people to work from home - it’s called ‘telecommuting’
and it’s a growing feature of businesses around the world. And while it
may free us up for more time with the family and take the pressure off
congested roadways, will this brave new world improve our quality of
life and economic well-being? [T;%]
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605 HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Hasluck’s Grand Plan" -
Part Two. When Paul Hasluck was appointed Commonwealth Minister for
Territories in 1951, he effectively became the Government's Minister
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: "A
Nazi in the Family". A student program that brings the grandchildren of
Nazis and the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors together is breaking
the ice between Germans and Jews. The so-called "third generation" is
revolutionising the way they think about the past and each other.
Amelia Klein of Melbourne, Viola Schlichting, Katrina Purschke, and
Israel Davidescu of Berlin talk to Rachael Kohn about building bridges
over the rubble of the War and the Holocaust. Recorded in Berlin. [T;%]
1755 THE PULSE - Australian new music.
1805 THE BEST OF LATE NIGHT LIVE - a reprise of interviews and
analysis from the weekday programs of Philip Adams.
1905 ANZAC DAY SPECIAL - Steve Sailah interviewed Australians who
took part in a young nation’s first major military campaign at
Gallipoli in 1915. These original Anzacs have since passed on, but
their stories remain fresh – the stories of naïve young men eager to
defend the Mother Country but who had no concept of the horrors they
would encounter and the wretched conditions they would endure. (Ed.
Note: replaces EARTHBEAT this week.)
1928 DAWN CEREMONY OF REMEMBRANCE from the Australian War Memorial,
