LOVE, LOVE ME DO 055956
A look at the social relations between men and women reveals that the dating and mating dance may be choreographed by evolution. Parts of the brain are differently constructed in men and in women. In concert with hormones, men's and women's brains may process information in different ways, which results in different perceptions, priorities and behaviors. The differences can have profound implications for the relationships between the sexes. The sexual revolution shattered the existing conventions, but men and women today still display varying appetites and expectations from their partners. Understanding and accepting these differences could make for successful relationships.

LOWER THAN THE ANGELS PART 01 050046
Dr. Bronowski sees evolution as twofold: biological and cultural. Biological evolution is by adaptive mutation (selection, or by the survival of the fittest) and is irreversible. Cultural evolution is by choice, or a series of choices, and can be changed. Only in this re- spect does man differ from the other species: "Every animal leaves traces of what it was: man alone leaves traces of what he created."

LYMPH NODES, SPLEEN, AND THYMUS 055940
The bulk of this video is devoted to the lymph nodes and spleen. Here three types of light-microscopic preparations are used to help clarify the material. First, H&E sections are shown at several magnifications to introduce the classic histology. Then trichrome stains are brought into play to show the relative distributions of parenchyma and con- nective tissue. Following that, special silver stains are used to dem- onstrate the distribution of reticular fibers; this is particularly useful in depicting the splenic sinusoids, whose discontinuous walls often present difficult-to-interpret images. Finally, low-magnifica- tion electron micrographs are used to illustrate the structures that generate the light microscopic images.
