Alternative title

Dissertation on Love, A

Synopsis

Radio broadcast. A discussion between Dr Frank C. Baxter of the University of Southern California and three fictitious experts. According to Jensen (op cit) these are a stuffy Englishman, an American materialist and and a permissive French snob. No conclusions about love are reached except that different cultures interpret it differently. Jensen concludes that ‘everyone overacts intolerably’.
