By my reckoning, Norman Lloyd is now 103 not out. It was good to hear him, still sharp, contributing to the excellent mini-series on the artistic contribution to President Roosevelt's New Deal, Works Progress Administration's Federal Project Number One. I am surprised that BBC Radio did not give more publicity to the two programmes. Perhaps they are sensitive about what might be seen as support for social enterprises? In fact, the narrative was at times critical of the project and of some of the key players, though the impression one was left with was of USA's basic conservatism.
