PACIFIC FOOTSTEPS - a co-production between ABC and

Pacific War. It presents snapshots of the Solomon Islands, Papua New
Guinea, the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands, four
countries in which Americans, Australians, Japanese and indigenous
people fought and suffered great hardship during World War Two. This
week: Program One: "Wisdom of The Solomons". The Solomon Islands was
the most distant territory reached by Japanese forces in the great
Pacific war. They were stopped short by the battles of Guadalcanal
and the Coral Sea. The Solomons have never supported themselves since
independence from Britain (in 1978) though many people hoped they
might live up to their description as 'The Friendly Islands', and be
taken seriously by the global tourist industry. Shark-callers, scuba-
diving, tropical reefs, volcanoes, dense jungles, exotic birds and
fish and colourful local culture – the Solomons have everything the
modern tourist demands. (***** NEW SERIES)

into his one-minute football reports – and the audience loves it. [T;%]

and Breast Cancer". Researchers in Denmark studied the effect of high

series from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music And
Fashion--#6: Stardust Memories". Nostalgia might be the very opposite
