What does it feel like to be in an earthquake? Dramatic, on-the-scene footage of the 1964 Alaska earthquake introduces viewers to the shock- waves of that massive earthquake. To demonstrate the actual physical effects of varying degrees of intensity, an earthquake shaker table progressively demolishes an office "set." The destructive potential of these uncontrollable and often unpredictable seismic waves points out the need to understand and study such activity, and to design a more earthquake resistant environment in which to live. While destructive, earthquakes provide one of the most powerful methods of studying the earth's interior. They are also a spectacular demonstration of the forces that operate and generate movement in the earth's outer shell.

EDGE OF HOLLYWOOD, THE PART 10 OF 13 056571
Hollywood films may be immensely successful, but they have certain artistic and cultural limitations. This program looks at some alter- native visions of American cinema - the work of nonconformist, indep- endent directors such as Spike Lee, Joel and Ethan Coen, Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarrantino, and other emerging new talents. Contemporary American independent cinema provides an artistic forum for dissenting, unconventional film makers, many of whom are from minority communities Their smaller scale films offer a different range of artistic choices, and their limited budgets may paradoxically expand their stylistic opportunities. And yet, the power and influence of Hollywood is never far from their consciousness. Is it possible to be a truly independent filmmaker in America?

Today, how the American people vote is due, in large part, to a care- fully packaged image presented to the public. But it was not always so. Nominating conventions in the late nineteenth century were domina- ted by "bosses"--political power brokers who manipulated the selection of delegates and delegate voting. This traces the evolution of the electoral process from the time of Washington, Adams and Jefferson to the presidential primaries in which modern candidates test their abil- ities to win.
