accepted that the mind of a child was a 'blank slate'. Today we know
that a child brings to school a mind crammed full with ideas, or
'memes' about the world. Educationalist and occasional film maker Don
Tinkler poses the question - if ideas can be little brain entities, can
we make better teachers by understanding the biology of how brains
work? [%]

1005 INSIDE OUT (refer to 0005)
1045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "Slang & Back
Slang". Some of the liveliest contributions to the way languages change
and develop come through slang. Before it enters into general usage,
slang evolves as a particular way of speaking that defines members of a
certain group, and excludes those that are not part of the group. Here,
Ronnie Hoffman delivers a personal reflection on the slang he grew up
speaking. In the backstreets of London, his unofficial languages
included rhyming slang, back slang, and a variant of London back slang
known as 'aiga'. [%]

1130 ALL IN THE MIND (refer to 0532) [T;%]
1205 THE MUSIC SHOW - a mix of music, interviews and information
about the latest developments in music, hosted by composer Andrew Ford.
[abc.net.au/rn/music/mshow/] for details. This week: Stravinsky and
Shostakovich--the two most famous Russian composers of the 20th
century. Igor Stravinsky was a White Russian to his bootstraps. He was
living in the West in 1917 when the Revolution occurred and he
disapproved wholeheartedly of it. Dmitri Shostakovich was a child of
the Revolution, though arguably an unwilling one. When it wasn't
persecuting him, the Kremlin used Shostakovich to promote the Soviet
cause. Stravinsky - living in the USA from the 1930s – was held up by
the West as an exemplar of artistic freedom. But what does their music
really mean? These days, the West likes to view Shostakovich as a
covertcritic of the Soviet Union, but are his symphonies and string
quartets really more than just music? Andrew Ford discusses this
intriguing subject with Jonathon Cross, Malcolm Brown and Mark Carroll.
Also on the show: composer Alison Bauld discusses her music for
Shakespeare's women; and the Stiff Gins sing. [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: "Family". The family appears to be under duress.
Divorce, consumerism, mass media and an overtly sexualized society are
said to be eroding the basic unit of our society. What can Ancient Rome
and Greece tell us about family arrangements and filial bonding? [T;%
(abc.net.au/rn/learning/lifelong/features/classics/)]
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605 HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week:
"Margaret Barr". The story of an extraordinary woman and her
commitment to dance and social justice - the choreographer and teacher
Margaret Barr. After training in New York with the pioneer of modern
dance, Martha Graham, and working at the famous Dartington Hall in
England,
Margaret Barr founded a dance-drama group in Sydney in 1953. She
created over sixty works that engaged with the widest cultural concerns
of the day - from the Vietnam War to the poems of Judith Wright, from
the hardships of rural life to the excitement of the Melbourne Cup.
Margaret Barr was also director of movement at the National Institute
of Dramatic Art (NIDA) for twenty three years, but the political nature
of her productions often put her at odds with the dance establishment.
Drawing on interviews she gave before her death in 1991, and accounts
from dancers, friends, critics and historians, this feature portrays
the life of an individual who believed in the power of art to change
the world, and the necessity for dance to communicate a social message.
[%]
1655 PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.
1705 THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week:
"Gurumania". Western seekers after spiritual wisdom regularly travel to
India looking for gurus who can set them "free." But gurus can also

needs, as Mary Garden explains from her bitter experience. And
journalist Mick Brown examines the shams and mystic possibilities of
famous Indian gurus he encountered while researching his book, The
Spiritual Tourist. [T;%]

This week marks the anniversary of the day, seven years ago, when Hong
Kong was handed back to China. Ever since then the island has been
resisting attacks on its autonomy from the Beijing government and
demanding democratic reforms. And Iraq took its first steps towards
democratic elections this week with the handover of power from the US
administration to a local government. The security situation is as bad
as ever, but the US is hoping to pull out gracefully and soon, and rely
on the UN to finish the job. But does the UN want that role, and are

a former legislator in Hong Kong, and Simon Chesterman, head of the
Institute of International Law and Justice at New York University. [%]

beats, funk and gospel, then french dub, 2 tracks from the best album
of the year so far, danish lounge, ibiza chill [even works where it's
