CLASS DIVIDED, A 055915
In 1970, Jane Elliott, a public school teacher in Riceville, Iowa, divided her all-white, all-Christian third-graders into blue and brown eyed groups for a lesson in discrimination which was brought to nat- ional attention by the award-winning ABC News documentary, "The Eye of the Storm." On successive days, each group was treated as inferior and subjected to discriminatory treatment. Even with the knowledge that this was a class exercise, it was experienced by the nine and ten year old students in both groups as real. "A Class Divided" updates that unique lesson in a blend of film from the original documentary and a reunion of the former third-graders and their teacher fifteen years later. The students, now young adults, relate the profound and endur- ing effects of their discrimination lesson on their lives.

COMMITMENT, 100% 056554
This videotape is of a session with Karla Milner, a mezzo-soprano, who was scheduled to audition just a few hours later. Follow along as Robert and Karla sort out the issues - especially the uncontrolled shaking knees - and find real solutions for reaching 100% committment. In a follow-up interview several weeks later (shown at the end of the tape), we learn that her accompanist didn't show up at the audition, the auditioner had to accompany her, but couldn't play the music she had prepared, and Karla ultimately ended up sight-reading Brahms Lieder as her audition and yet she still sailed through it and won the role.
