Book Talk Tuesday: David Bevan 'A Case to Answer' On Australia Day 1990, a seventy-three-year-old man was plucked from the Adelaide suburbs and accused of helping massacre nearly nine hundred men, women and children in Nazi-occupied Ukraine. The trial of Ivan Polyukhovich stretched across the world as witnesses gathered to testify from Ukraine, Israel and North America. A Case to Answer is compelling courtroom drama. David Bevan describes the events that led to Polyukhovich's arrest, his near fatal shooting, and the extraordinary manoeuvrings as Australia's legal system is tested to the limit.

This year sees us celebrating 50 years since man made it to the moon.

Today is your opportunity to meet a woman that helped to pioneer that space adventure, Gwynne Allen. Gwynne started her NASA career in 1976 as a Thermal Dynamics Technician designing and fabricating MLI spacecraft heat shields. At the time, building and testing spacecraft were a man's domain and women were not exactly welcomed. Her persistence and hard work paid off and eventually she became a specialist and the first woman to give 'GO' for launch at the Kennedy Space Centre.

Her 14 year career with NASA was varied and always exciting as she worked in such diverse fields as spacecraft pre-launch testing to gantry based launch operations, from logistics to facility manager for a secret project. Along the way there was a lot of hard work, exciting events and funny times as she soared through the 'glass ceilings.'
