Nelson Mandela
A Public Lecture
---------------------------------------------------------
One of the most honoured men in modern history - Nelson Mandela - is coming
to Australia.
It continues to astound the world that a young boy growing up in poverty,
with illiterate parents, became one of the greatest political leaders in
the world.
Mandela, surviving apartheid and 28 years jail, is considered by many as a
truly great man with a moral authority that invokes awe and respect
everywhere he goes.
Hear him on this week's Background Briefing in a presentation he recently
gave at the London School of Economics, where he was awarded an honorary
degree (one of his hundreds).
The Adzido Pan African Dance Troupe and Joan Armatrading were there to
welcome him...

LAST WEEK ON BB (20/08/00):
"The Business of Cybersecurity - The War On Privacy?"
Produced by Stan Correy
In cyberspace, we don't know who the enemy is, or even what they want. This
is fertile ground for the mercenaries of information technology a new breed
of computer security companies who stand to make a buck by sleuthing,
hunting down that enemy, and building your fortresses.
