Moral Majority - In June 1979 the Moral Majority was launched and changed the course of American politics. It was set up to promote family values by religious conservatives from Catholic, Jewish and evangelical Christian communities. It urged protestants in particular to go against the tradition of separating politics and religion and register to vote, and to vote Republican. Richard Viguerie was one of the driving forces behind the movement.

Dunedin Flying nun band The Chills became known internationally in the early 80s for jangly pop songs 'Pink Frost', 'I Love My Leather Jacket' and 'Heavenly Pop Hit'. Songwriter Martin Phillipps is the only constant member, but he's had a pretty constant line-up the last few years. Here they are at performing amix of new songs and old favourites at the NZ Festival earlier this year.

Sheep farming and environmental responsibility go hand in hand on 80-year-old Malcolm Mackenzie's 193 hectare farm near Winton in Southland. Over time he has planted shelter belts of native species, fenced off waterways, developed a wetland area and every year he grows hundreds of heritage apple trees for the Riverton Environment Centre. Also, Hawkes Bay dry stock farmers Dean and Antoinette Martin, who have seen summer droughts become more intense and more frequent over the years... and Part Two of Pioneer Deer Farmer and Possumer Colin Cox's memoir; today he and his father and brother are struggling with a boar that's killing lambs and his possum trapping escapades see him getting cyanide poisoning.
