CELL, THE 055923
This program provides an overview of the structure of the cell as seen by light and electron microscopy. Learning to really "see" with the light microscope--to identigy structures that lie at the limit of res- olution of the instrument--is a real art. Unfortunately, beginnin stu- dents of histology frequently become confused, because some cell com- ponents are readily visible under the light mocroscope, whereas others are not. Therefore, the program proceeds in an orderly sequence, star- ting with large components, such as the nucleus, which are quite ob- vious and then goes on to describe other structures in the cytoplasm, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, which are not.

CHILDREN IN POVERTY: WHAT'S TO BE DONE? 990129
Poverty is an equal opportunity killer. It kills without regard to race, color, creed or nationality. It is robbing us of our most pre- cious natural resource...our children. An increasing number of American families cannot afford the basic necessities of life. Public opinion is divided on how to end the spiraling cycle of poverty. The lines of thinking have been drawn. The experts are divided. But the problem not only persists, it grows. This title presents a live forum as Fordham's debate team goes head-to-head with liberal social thinker Jonathan Kozol and supply side economist, George Gilder. This impor- tant video-conference not only focuses on issues, but seeks answers.
