This morning on BH, we have the latest on allegations in a new book which say that Gordon Brown's behaviour in Downing Street has been less than exemplary. And is it time for a "broader conversation" in politics, as advocated by David Cameron this week? Helen Lederer and Howard Ward try to have one with us. The 200th anniversary of the birth of Chopin is almost upon us, so we pay homage to him in our own BH way. As the air thickens with economists' letters, Irish government minister Michael Mansergh joins us to talk about the cuts that his government has already had to impose. And - age shall not weary them - Kevin Connolly to Arizona goes in search of the eternal sunshine of the spotless retirement. Reviewing the Sunday papers were novelist Kathy Lette, the Observer's theatre reviewer Susannah Clapp and author and journalist John Lanchester.
