nerve. New research has found that incredibly short pulses of a
sapphire laser may solve the problem. [%]

Saturday
0005 PACIFIC REVIEW* (refer to Fri. 1805)

Microbiology at the University of Melbourne and Chancellor of La Trobe
University, vents her frustration about excessive bureaucracy in
institutions. [%]
0045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "French in the New
Europe". When the European Union was formed, it had six countries, and
three of them were French-speaking. Now, the EU is made up of
twenty-five countries, and still only three of them are
French-speaking. France is worried about the diminishing importance of
its language in the new Europe. With the ever-increasing use of English
as the lingua franca of Europe, the French Government has put in place
a range of strategies to try to turn this around. Abraham Bengio, from
the Delegation for the French Language, discusses the linguistic battle
he's waging to reinstate French as a major European language. [%]
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: "Too Much Choice?" As
consumers now know, competition doesn't always deliver the cheapest or
the best. Now the big end of town is saying the same thing. Too much
choice can be confusing and costly, and informed choice is impossible.
Stephen Long reports. [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: English writer and
comedian Alexei Sayle wrestles with Ramona Koval for control of one of
the most entertaining sessions of this year's Sydney Writers' Festival.
Ostensibly invited to talk about his debut novel 'Overtaken', Alexei
Sayle finds the task of sitting still and having a serious
philosophical conversation difficult, especially when faced with a
large venue and an 800-strong audience. But in between prat-falls, we
glimpse another side to the Liverpool funny man ... we discover a very
considered and capable author. [T;%]
0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at
the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week:
"Home". Julie Myerson has come up with a brilliantly simple idea for a
book - to find out about everyone who has ever lived in her South
London house, built in 1872. She managed to track down all the former
residents, or their descendants, to write the colourful life-story of
her house. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week: So far the 'Australian Express' has not
been accused of talking rot, but this weekend the rot sets in as we
discover that Compact Discs may not be as long
lasting as we were led to believe. We ask are Australians beginning to
suffer from 'compassion fatigue'? Are we becoming less charitable in
our old age? And yet another of Australia's icons is under threat-the
cuddly Koala, which by the way is not a bear. We invite you to learn
how to regenerate degraded koala habitats in rural areas which, it's
hoped, will encourage a growth in numbers of these marsupials. Hop
aboard the 'Australian Express'.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Music and
Intelligence". Does making music make you smarter? We hear of two
recent studies and ask whether the connection between music and IQ is
being kept alive to justify the value of teaching kids music. [%]

0810 GRANDSTAND WRAP
0830 EARTHBEAT - environmental issues raised by economic development
with Alexandra de Blas. This week: "Water, Water Everywhere".
Australia’s water crisis is ironic when you consider how much water
surrounds the continent. What if that salty water could be put to
better use, along with the increasing saline output of our inland river
systems? [T;%]
0905 THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "A Short
History of Venus". Why did the transit of Venus become so inspiring an
event to so many? What was its actual role in the British exploration
of our region and the ‘discovery’ of eastern Australia? What have we
learned from it? [%]

“Alice's Restaurant”; you'll also hear the complete version of “Alice's
Restaurant”. [T;%]
1405 BACKGROUND BRIEFING (refer to 0205)
1455 CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK
1505 DISTANT MIRRORS DIMLY LIT - a six-part radio series developed
and presented by Australian born classicist Peter Toohey. It examines
how the lives of the ancients relate to ours, through the exploration
of six contemporary themes: Anger, Privacy, Leisure, Depression, Family
and Memory. This week: "Leisure". Our pursuit of leisure has fuelled a
multi-billion dollar industry. How did the Greeks and Romans understand
leisure? Were eating and drinking, sport, or the theatre means for
killing time, or did they have more profound significance for Greeks
and Romans? It has become expected that all of us in time off will seek
a leisure activity to soak up the spare hours. Travel tourism, sport,
arts and gastronomy, are all part of the ever-growing sphere of
homogenizing fun that has encircled the Western World. Our ability to
invent a series of ingenious anodynes is impressive. But in the end the
age-old question remains: why do we do it? Is it to make time’s passing
more tolerable? [T;%
