RIGHT TO DIE, THE 055217
Nearly a decade after the case of Karen Quinlan captured the attention of the nation, it is common practice to withdraw life-sustaining equi- pment from patients in irreversible coma or those considered "brain dead." Health professionals are now facing a new generation of ethical and legal dilemmas. One of the most troublesome and controversial in- volves a competent patient's request to withdraw life support equip- ment. The "right to die" has recently been the crux of numerous court cases which have greatly expanded patients' options regarding the con- tinuation or cessation of life-sustaining treatment.

RIVER CHANNEL FORMS 055419
All rivers, no matter where they are located, have the same functions, and the forces that affect river size and shape are directly related to those functions. A river accomplishes two principal tasks: the movement of water and the transport of sediment washed down from the land drained by the river. Changes in the relative amounts of water and sediment cause adjustments in the channel form. The relationship between channel shape and the processes affecting it can be demonstra- ted by measuring the shape of the channel, discharge rate, bedload size and quantity, and the amount of suspended sediment carried under low flood conditions.

ROADMAP FOR CHANGE, PART 2 055342
In the early 1980s the Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors retained Dr. Deming as a consultant at its new Fiero plant in Pontiac, Michigan.

"Roadmap for Change, Part 1" documented initial implementation of Deming's management philosophy; this title provides a follow-up review of Pontiac's commitment. It shows how implementation has progressed, concentrating particularly on the application of statistical processes throughout the production system.

ROBERT BLY: "A GATHERING OF MEN" 055903
"In ancient times the movement of the man was downward, a descent into grief. Before you're really a man, that descent has to take place. It's referred to in the fairy tales as a time of ashes, and the time of descent. With men, there's some quality of grief, and men don't know what they're grieving about. It's as if the grief is impersonal with men. It's always present. You don't know if it's about the ab- sence of the father ... It may be a grief that's in nature itself. ... The old male initiators - King Arthur would be one - are interested in the soul of the young man. That's what the young men are missing, that there aren't any older men who are interested in their souls." ---- Robert Bly

ROMANTIC COMEDY PART 5 OF 13 056566
The best American romantic comedies are bright, witty, silly, and loaded with meaning and intelligence. From the screwball comedies of the 1930s and '40s (such as Frank Capra's "It Happened One Night" and Howard Hawks's "His Girl Friday") through the films of Billy Wilder in the late 1950s and '60s to the contemporary resurgence of the genre in films like "Broadcast News" and "When Harry Met Sally", romantic come- dies have often masked some fairly disturbing social and psychological observations with breezy dialogue and ridiculous slapstick. This pro- gram explores both sides of American film comedy - the surface humor and its more critical roots in questions of gender and sexuality.

Aside from their entertainment value, Laguna stories often serve to bond people together: when recounted, personal experiences become tradition alized.

SCIENCE AND GENDER 056745
When in the 1950's Evelyn Fox Keller sallied forth to become a scientist, she discovered it was a man's world.
