MADNESS AND MEDICINE 060653
Because mental illness is so hard to define, diagnosis and prognosis are often uncertain. Treatments vary considerably,depending upon indi- vidual cases and the psychiatrist must sometimes use a variety of methods in order to help a patient, especially in the case of a severe psychosis. This film goes into mental institutions to investigate the uses of three of the more radical types of therapeutic methods: drugs, electroshock and psycho-surgery. The film's intent is to explore these modes of modifying anti-social behavior, how prevalent they are, who is for them, who is against them, how valid the research is and how we must balance society's needs against the individual's rights. Many psychiatrists will find points of contention in this critical evaluation of clinical methods.

MAKING OF A PRESIDENT, THE: 1860-1862 PART 1 OF4 056326
In "The Making of A President," we journey back from the White House to Lincoln's poor backwoods home, and visit the roots from which his legend grew. Lincoln's words, and those of the people who knew him, are made vivid by exceptional photographs from the definitive Lincoln archives. They capture not only the President's powerful face and those of his family and contemporaries, but also many personal details that reveal so much - images of his home, his horse, his barn, his dog his books and even his back yard. From humble beginnings, "Lincoln" traces the growth of the man's ambition to succeed and his simple elo- quence, which moved all those wo heard him speak. It takes us to the threshold of Lincoln's greatest challenge - to be both America's Pres- ident, and the Union Army's Commander In Chief.

Oedipus first rejects religion and prophecy, but in his search for truth finds the prophecy has come true. Interprets Sophocles' message as implying that it is man's search for truth that gives him nobility, but if he fails to recognize God, his ability is only an illusion.
