AMERICAN GAMES, JAPANESE RULES 055777
It's the bottom of the ninth inning, the score is tied, bases loaded, two men out. This is the moment when a coach should bring in the pinch hitter who can blast the ball out of the park and take the team over the top. That's what usually happens in the American game of baseball. But in a Japanese baseball game, they send in the pitcher, the weak- est hitter. "They'll let him hit and he'll strike out and everybody walks off the field happy," says Rick Lancelotte, an American baseball player now playing in Japan. Sports agent Chris Arnold explains it this way, "A tie is a wonderful thing in Japan. No face is lost, so that's a perfect day." This program provides an intimate and percep- tive look at Japanese society through the eyes of Americans who love and work there.

AMERICAN TONGUES 055423
This title portrays some of the interesting regional, social, and ethnic differences in American speech, and the attitudes that people have about these differences. Because it builds upon the natural curiosity Americans have about dialects, audiences will find it quite entertaining. At times, however, it is also blunt and straightforward as it depicts the kind of attitudes Americans have about their speech. The presentation is intended to educate viewers about the nature of dialects, but it also challenges them to confront their own attitudes about language variation.
