BACK FROM MADNESS: The Struggle for Sanity 057682
This program provides a view of the world of insanity that few ever see, following four psychiatric patients for one to two years, from the time they arrive at Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital, and contextualizing their present-day treatments with rare archival footage demonstrating how their conditions were treated in the past. On one level, the program examines what psychiatric treatment is like today at one of the world's most famous hospitals. Beyond this, the program is about the patients themselves, and the inner strength that is required of them as they search for some relief from the severe mental illnesses they are coping with - schizophrenia,manic-depression obsessive compulsive disorder, and suicidal depression.

BACK TO REALITY 055605
Hugh Downs presents up-to-the-minute information cutting through the smog of popular myth and clinical jargon that has long obscured the realities of alcoholism and other drug addictions in our society. Re- inforcing the informal, factual presentation are dramatic illustra- tions showing how people struggle with the problems of addiction, en- abling, denial and delusion. In these true-to-life scenes, many view- ers will discover startling parallels in their own lives. Among facts covered: *Addiction is a disease, not a moral weakness. *It's no one's fault. *Why addicts can't "just say no," is that they're out of touch with reality. *Attempts by others to be helpful often enable or encou- rage addicts to continue their addiction. *Those who care can help by intervening. *Recovery for the whole family is possible.

BACK TO THE MOVEMENT (1979-MID 1980'S) 055765
The series concludes with an examination of two American cities - one Southern, one Northern. In Miami, Florida, viewers witness the des- truction of Overtown, a once-thriving black community, as it was rav- aved by urban renewal and the construction of an interstate highway. Politically powerless, the community's economic plight was worsened by the steady arrival of another minority group - Cuban immigrants. In the North, frustrated by an unresponsive city administration, black Chicagoans successfully organize for political change through a reform candidate. During eight months of intense activity, grass-roots leaders registered 250,000 new black voters and brought about the election of Harold Washington, Chicago's first black mayor. The series ends with a look at the people who made this change come about.

It's the '90s and boards of directors are being held accountable for corporate productivity, efficiency and profitability. Little tolerance exists for backroom politics, exorbinant salaries and shareholder losses. Yet, some say that outsiders are meddling in board affairs and making unreasonable demands. Elizabeth Warren, visiting professor of law at Harvard University, examines the conflicts and responsibilities of corporate boards through a hypothetical scenario in which a board confronts a series of predicaments. Warren and her panelists deal with a new executive seeking millions in compensation; a founder and CEO, on the verge of retiring, who wants to push through a product that might destroy the company; and a cost-cutting proposal that means moving jobs overseas.

BLACK CONTRIBUTION, THE: MUSIC 060529
Because Blacks were not allowed to read or write in times of slavery, they developed a highly intricate form of communication through song. Many songs, in fact, were secret codes. The development of Black spir- ituals through the influence of Protestant hymns is demonstrated as well as the parallel creation of yet another Black music arising from Catholic New Orleans and the West Indies.
