In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman outlines probation as a special alternative to the criminal-making influences of the prison system, stating that probation can effectively replace detention; although it is considered in the public mind as a form of leniency and improperly administered it becomes “beating the rap.” Two men with criminal experience are interviewed to illustrate this alternative. Meeker and Lohman delve into the necessary requirements to make probation an instrument for controlling criminal behavior and if its potentialities for reclaiming those who have strayed outside the social role are to be used to the fullest extent.

Treatment of this important topic is divided into consideration of, 1) the useful products, 2) destructive agents, and 3) recreational advantages of the shore as one of our great natural resources. In the first category come sea foods, exclusive of the fish, and the numerous edible species are discussed and examples shown.

The destructive forces of sea water and of several marine animals are recalled and reviewed in this context. The program closes with a serious look at the shore as an important recreational asset.
Some of the most complicated chemical synthesis in the world take place inside fairly uncomplicated cells. How is this done? Dr. Saltman explains the crucial role played by the enzyme –a protein catalyst –in guiding such vital chemical reactions as transforming sugar into fats and synthesizing nucleic acids. These enzymes do more than simply tenderize meat or ferment wine; they activate the cells which keep living things alive. Experiments during the course of the program graphically illustrate the peculiar properties of these remarkable entities.
Dr. Strughold and Dr. Rider take an imaginary ride in a space satellite, circling in an orbit 784 miles above the earth. They discuss problems which have only been touched on before in the series: the unearthly silence in space where no sound is propagated; the incredible contrast between brilliant light and impenetrable shadow; the physiological and psychological disturbances that may arise when the normal terrestrial day-night cycle is replaced by one with --in this case --a “day” of 76 minutes followed by a “night” of 35 minutes.

Professor Jones describes Sonata-form, the typical form of the first movement (and sometimes other movements too) of sonatas, symphonies, etc., as the most complex, yet logically the most cogent of all instrumental forms. By reference back to an example of simple ternary form, the three main sections of sonata-form –the Exposition, the Development, and the Recapitulation(plus Coda) –are shown to be logical outgrowths, and tremendous expansions, of the statement, development and restatement of the basic ternary scheme. In this program, the Exposition section only is dealt with. It is found to comprise two “subjects,”embodying two tonal areas, connected by a modulatory “bridge” called the transition. Various examples illustrate the typical characters of the two subjects, the nature of the transition, and the common thematic organization of this expository section of the movement.
The economics of imperialism from pure economic exploitation to modern economic aid and development are discussed in this program, beginning with Lenin’s thesis of imperialism as the last stage of capitalism and concluding with a view of Communist Russia as the modern imperialist. New nationalistic nations tend to perceive imperialism in the old light, and Lenin’s appeal today is predominantly emotional. Among the different forms of imperialism discussed are economic exploitation, by government and private interests; welfare; economic aid and development; and various combinations of these factors. How these forms developed indifferent areas is also discussed. Concludes Stoessinger, the economics of empire today is a mixed question. Western Imperialism is primarily historical, and the Soviet Union today is using Western policies of the Nineteenth century.
Dr. Samuel J. Eldersveld discusses the two ways of looking at political parties: the structural or formal approach which views them as institutions with a particular type of organization and the functional approach which views them in terms of their actual activities. He answers the question what political parties are, discusses the special nature of political parties in democratic countries, the origin of political parties, and finally the functions of political parties as we know them today.
In this program, the narrator describes what the Swede receives in social welfare from the state. To illustrate, the film follows two young women through pregnancy --one case normal, the other complicated by serious illness. Swedes get free hospitalization during illness, while insurance covers and loss of income. In the particular case of births, while the mother is in the hospital, the home nurse association takes care of her children at a nominal fee. As the program continues, the topic is broadenedto cover the problems of others --for instance, the aged. The film concludes with a natural birth sequence --natural childbirth has been used in Sweden for ten years with great success --in which the healthy young woman we met at the beginning of the program watches her baby being born. Among the participants in this program is Ernst Michanek, State Secretary in Sweden’s Social Department, journalist, and Swedish representatives to the International Labor Organization and the Unite Nations.
The effects of air pressure on the human body are studied, with emphasis on the protection which the Earth’s atmosphere affords, by enabling men to breathe, by preventing the body fluids from bubbling away as gas, by cushioning the impact like meteors from outer space, and by removing the lethal threat in ultraviolet and cosmic radiation. Col. Sweeney narrates his pioneer experiments in “explosive decompression,” the sudden loss of cabin air pressure by a puncture from a chance encounter with a meteor in space.
Vitamins are elements essential to proper development of a living organism. However, they are not a cure-all. It has been known for a long time that an unbalanced diet could cause illness, but it was not until recently that scientists have been able to synthesize those compounds which promote optimum growth. The program ends with a warning on the dangers of following every food fad, and some hints for ensuring a proper diet.

The following topics are discussed: Are the Russian people friendly? Are they afraid of their own government? Are they afraid of the American government? Is there a revival of religion in Russia? How do Russians living standards compare with American living standards? It is agreed by all that it would be helpful to the interests of American foreign policy if more Russians could visit this country and see for themselves who we are and how we live.
Stoessinger, professor of political science, and two guests, anthropologist Carleton Stevens Coon, and psychologist Otto Klineberg, present their views on why people organize into nation states and on the characteristics of the state. Mr. Klineberg feels that states arise from a desire for personal identification with a group out of which rises a sense of national identification. Mr. Coon believes that the state is an outgrowth of the mammalian instinct to have boundaries and economic securities. From small groups of families grow villages and ultimately states. Dr. Stoessinger emphasizes that the will to join must be present.
Dr. Saltman begins the series by asking what is perhaps the most fundamental question in a study of biochemistry: what makes something alive and something else dead? This is a question which has puzzled and invited scientist and philosophers throughout history. Thanks to the development of increasingly powerful microscopes, the cell, which is the basic element of living matter, can be analyzed and studied in its three functions: reproduction, mutation, and the carrying on of metabolism. The program ends with comparisons of an amoeba and a mammal, and algae and the giant sequoia tree.
