ANCIENT FORESTS: RAGE OVER TREES 055733
In the Pacific Northwest, conservationists and loggers are engaged in a gripping battle over the last of the ancient forests. For the tim- ber industry, harvesting old growth allows for the planting of younger more profitable trees, which the industry claims is an econimic neces- sity. To conservationists, the destruction of this vital, natural ecosystem destroys the Northwestern tourist trade, the beauty of the landscape and the habitat of thousands of animals. This program looks at the head-to-head struggle over the region's national forests.

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO BETTER 055955
As women continue to make strides in political and social equality, scientists would remind us that equal does not necessarily mean the same. Differences being found in the architecture of men's and women's brains can lead to differences in ability between the sexes. Females tend to be better at language skills such as fluency, verbal reasoning written prose and reading, while men are better at spatial relation- ships and are more intrigued by mechanical things. These underlying differences can help explain different learning patterns between the sexes and have implications for our career choices. We tend to seek tasks that fulfill our basic needs and our basic brains.

AWAKENINGS (1954-1956) 055759
This program concentrates on the period from 1954-1956, highlighting the events that began the modern black freedom struggle. Prior to 1954, racism was rationalized under a "separate but equal" doctrine. It was during this time that existing organizations, local leaders and ordinary citizens became involved in the black freedom struggle. The lynching in Mississippi of 14 yr. old Emmett Till led to a trial that caught the attention of the national news media. The personal courage of Rosa Parks triggered the 1955-1956 Montgomery Alabama boy- cott which forced the desegregation of public buses.
