Night Waves

If you had been living in Paris in 1789, who would you have voted for - Georges Danton, flamboyant leader of the more moderate wing of French Revolutionaries, or Robespierre, who had Danton executed? Isabel Hilton and historians Ruth Scurr and David Lawday wrestle with the question. Isabel interviews the sculptor Peter Randall-Page whose monumental, organic forms are stalking the Yorkshire sculpture park. And together with economist Ruth Lea, she quizzes Chris Anderson about his new book Free. He claims we are entering the age of a new economic model - one in which there may indeed be such a thing as a free lunch. Plus second of author Michael Goldfarb's reflections on the summer of 1969. He focuses on Medium Cool, Haskell Wexler's brilliant cinematic examination of journalistic ethics.
