Original Scoop". Bill Deedes is still working as a reporter at 90 years
of age. But as a 22-year-old, he was sent to cover the war in
Abyssinia. Evelyn Waugh observed Deedes's arrival in Addis Ababa,
accompanied by 2 tons of baggage. Waugh went on to caricature Deedes as
the hapless 'Boot', a naive nature writer, mistakenly sent to cover a
war for his newspaper The Beast.
Lord Deedes tells Ramona Koval what it's like to be parodied so
famously. He reminisces about Waugh the journalist and Waugh the
novelist and he talks of his still-active life as a 90-year-old
journalist abroad. [T;%]

literary editor of The Age, about the book, and how he came to write
it. [%]
0505
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "Mention the word ‘Eureka’
and most will associate it with the Greek mathematician, physicist and
engineer - Archimedes - who is reputed to have discovered the principle
of buoyancy while taking a bath. So pleased was he with his discovery
that it is also said that he took to the streets naked calling out
"eureka" (I found it). But to Australians ‘Eureka’ conjures up pictures
of a much more recent event in this country’s history. And as we
approach its 150th anniversary an all-Australian musical has just
opened in Melbourne to tell the story of the Eureka Stockade. On this
week’s Australian Express hear about the production and listen to some
of the music.
Also meet an ethno-biologist who’s compiled 15 books which take us back
to the days when Aboriginal elders in the Northern Territory used to
hunt and gather their own food as children. This work, preserving the
knowledge about Bush Tucker, has garnered him the international Slow
Food Award for the Defence of Biodiversity. And we run away to the
circus to join a community-based organisation in Melbourne. It’s joined
forces with The Migrant Resource Centre to provide a refuge and a
second chance for youngsters who don’t fit in at home.
0532
ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind,
brain and behaviour with Lynne Malcolm. This week: "When Trauma Tips
You Over". Vietnam veteran Ted Fish had not heard of Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder until just four years ago when he realised he’d
actually been suffering it for the past 30 years. We hear Ted’s story
and examine some of the new PTSD research. [%]

CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK
1505
--returning series--AUSTRALIA NOW* - a 13-part series looking at the
jobs Australians do, the homes they live in and the way they spend
their leisure. The series also examines the environment that supports
Australians, the political structures that govern them and the way they
get along with each other and their regional neighbours. "Program #1:
Postcard from Down Under". Tourist images tend to perpetuate
stereotypes that connect in particular with rural Australia in
particular, the bush and the beach lifestyle of ‘Sunny Australia’. As a
result, overseas tourists often don’t get much further than Australia’s
largest city, Sydney, the Gold Coast beaches of Queensland, ‘The
Sunshine State’ and the red heart of Central Australia. When visitors
do travel to other parts of the country they’re quite surprised at what
they find. Similarly, tourist images of Indigenous Australia are
largely derived from Central Australia so that visitors to other
Aboriginal cultural sites around the country are frequently
disappointed if they don’t hear the ‘didjeridoo’, a musical instrument
made from a hollowed out tree branch or see ‘dot paintings’ that are
actually quite specific to Central Australia." [%;T]
1532
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605
HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Forests History Society". Bill
Bunbury reports from a Forests History Society Conference in WA that

1655
PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.
1705
THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week:
"Inspirited Landscapes". For poets Barry Hill and Robyn Rowland
particular landscapes have remained haunted by the experience of love.
For Barry it is Central Australia and for Robyn it is Ireland. Peter
Read, author of Haunted Earth, is fascinated by the trend toward
"inspirited" landscapes, and asks, is Australia haunted, and if so
where and with what? [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
EARTHBEAT - environmental matters with Alexandra de Blas. This week:

Queensland a committed group of individuals are working hard to grow
and protect a range of exquisite plants and exotic fruits that are
threatened in their natural habitat. [%]

THE EUROPEANS - broader historical and cultural perspectives on
European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "The Years of Lead"--
Part 1. Piazza Fontana in 1969, Brescia in 1974, a bomb at Bologna
railway station in 1980, the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro in
1978. Between 1969 and 1987, Italians were caught in a turmoil of
political terror they call 'The Years of Lead'. During these years,
there were nearly fourteen thousand incidents of political violence,
and nearly 500 deaths. Organisations like the Red Brigades and Primo
Linea on the left, and Ordine Nuovo and Avanguardia Nazionale on the
right, sought a radical transformation of Italian life and politics.
Revolution was a mantra throughout the west in the late 1960s, but only
in a few places did these ideas spill over into violence. And only in
Italy was this violence so organised and so long-sustained. So what
made Italy different? How can we understand the motivations of Italian
militants of that era, and what was it like to live through it? And in
the paranoia of Cold War politics, what part did the Italian state play
in perpetuating these events? [%]
