In Stewart Henderson's Pick of the Week there is the music of war and the search for the ultimate sound of silence. Elsewhere important questions are asked such as - why has Bob The Builder now got a Green Card, and did British journalists blur their vocation by spying for Queen and country during the Cold War? And spiders with stethoscopes - well, not really but the medicinal qualities of their silk are causing zoological scientists to coo with wonder. And let's hear it for the baffling Gertrude Stein - it's the way she tells them.
