in his starmaking Broadway role as the devilish emcee and director Bob
Fosse, who shaped a triumph of style, showmanship and substance. (Closed

us from the earliest remains of Celtic salt-miners in Austria, 2500 years
ago, through the spread of their empire from Ireland to Hungary. Although
the Celts were courageous, ruthless warriors armed with iron and mounted
on horseback, their proud independence kept them from uniting against the
disciplined military might of Rome. Thus began a long and bloody struggle
for the survival of the remaining Celtic strongholds--Wales, Scotland,
Ireland and Brittany. |

CELTS, THE: RICH TRADITIONS AND ANCIENT
MYTHS VOLUME 2 |
Volume Two: The Celtic world was one of legend and
mystery, a mythology based on the magical powers of nature--the sacred
groves of oak, ash and yew, speaking stones, healing waters and holy
animals, the mystical significance of the severed head of an enemy. With
the passage of time, Druid priests gave way to Christian missionaries,
whose teachings could not escape the influence of the rich cultural
heritage of the Celts. In their music, art and literature, from the
Gunderstrup Cauldron to The Book of Kells to the ancient bardic
traditions, the Celts wove together the beautiful and the practical with
their own bold, colorful and innovative style. |

CELTS, THE: RICH TRADITIONS AND ANCIENT
MYTHS VOLUME 3 |
Volume Three: The heroic Celts of old are a memory,
part legend, part myth. But who are they today? The most precise defintion
of a Celt is one who speaks a Celtic language- Irish, Welsh, Scots Caelic,
Breton or the almost extinct Manx and Cornish. The ancient civilization of
the Celts may have diminished, but their legacy to Western culture has
been profound, both in terms of their bold, proud approach to life, their
wit and merriment and their richly evocative mustic, poetry, art,
mythology and literature. |

In very human ways, this program shows the stakes of
the global economic competition for individual Americans and for the

battles with Japanese and German competition. The program moves from an
up-to-date look at mass production, craft production, and lean production
in the auto industry to new races for "voice" computers and laptops, as
well as the Japanese drive to challenge America's lead in basic research
by setting up labs in the U.S. and hiring top American scientists.

government and business, and even among businesses, than the more
laissez-faire American system. Both Japan and Germany invest heavily in
worker train- ing and long-term employment guarantees. The Japanese system
is dominated by families of companies which finance and own each other;
the German system by banks which are investors as well as lenders; the
American system by entrepreneurs and absentee, mutual-fund type owners and
managers who wield great power. |

conformity and a powerful sense of nationalism prevail. Germany stands
between the two, asserting individualism but strving more than the U.S.

CHIRALITY-HANDEDNESS |
This program looks at a collection of small, handed
molecules. We can see, or rather taste, that the signals from our noses
and tastebuds respond to the chirality of the molecules that reach them.
This tells us that our sensory mechanisms are handed. Fear triggers the
hormone adrenalin, a small handed molecule which makes it possible to
stand and fight or run. It must have the correct handedness and this
aspect can be crucial in medicine--different handed versions of a drug may
have alarmingly different effects. Sex depends directly on molecular
handedness. Testosterone in the human male controls sexual activity; in
canaries it can make the silent female sing. Lastly, the program looks
again at glucose, the marevelously versatile four-handed molecule.
