scientist, Dr. Julio Montaner. He's been involved in
HIV-AIDS research since the early days of the disease. And
now he's the first AIDS specialist in North America to be
awarded a chair in HIV-AIDS research, financed by a $1
million endowment created by the University of British
Columbia and St. Paul's Hospital. Also, a chat with two
architects working on housing for the homeless. That's
Morningside on CBC Radio, 9:06 to noon, 9:36 to 12:30 in
Newfoundland.

4. IDEAS:

"Black Water" tonight on Ideas at 9:05 (9:35 NT) on CBC
Radio.
5. BETWEEN THE COVERS:
More from "Morality Play" by Barry Unsworth tonight on
Between the Covers. Set in fourteenth-century England, the
play follows a troupe of itinerant players as they
unintentionally unravel a local mystery. Their
interpretation of events casts suspicion on the lord of the
manor. The players take a serious risk when they perform
their dramatisation of the murder before him. But a
surprising interruption occurs. That's "Morality Play"
tonight on Between the Covers, right after the 10 o'clock
news (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio. By the way, you can hear an
interview with author Barry Unsworth this Sunday on Writers
and Company on CBC Radio.

**please note this program may not be shown at this time in
some locations, or carried on some affiliates. Check local
listings.
This week on Adrienne Clarkson Presents, a profile of
singer/songwriters Murray McLauchlan. For almost thirty
years, he has been writing songs that make Canadians sit up
and think. But according to McLauchlan, he isn't cut out to
be either a performer, an activist or a celebrity. Don't
miss a portrait of Murray McLauchlan on Adrienne Clarkson
Presents, tonight at 7:00 p.m. on CBC Television.
10. THE NATURE OF THINGS:
Tonight on The Nature of Things, "The Bald Eagle: Searching
for Home." David Suzuki looks at the state of western North
America's Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles in the United States were
almost driven to extinction, victims of DDT poisoning.
Twenty years of official protection, and the banning of DDT
have had the desired effect: Bald Eagles are coming back and
their official status has been downgraded from endangered to
threatened. But America's official bird is not out of the
woods yet. New chemical poisons are suspected of causing
infertility and abnormal eagle behavior. There is another
factor limiting eagle recovery. Not very long ago, bald
eagles were able to depend upon a feast of spawning salmon
to get them through the winter, but many salmon runs have
been over-fished and have become extinct. Bald Eagles are
having to change their habits. Find out more in "The Bald
Eagle: Searching for Home" on The Nature of Things tonight
at 7:00 p.m. on CBC Television.

11. FACE OFF:
Tonight on Face Off...Ontario's Conservative government is
taking its common sense revolution to the streets of
Canada's largest city. The six municipalities which make up
Metropolitan Toronto are to be amalgamated into one
enormous city. The legislation had barely ben introduced
when the mayors of those six munipalities were heading for
the barricades in or what promises to be a loud and angry
battle. Is this a sensible consolidation that will save
money? Or is it one of those grotesque mega-projects that's
headed for disaster? Steve Gilchrist, a Conservative member
of the Ontario legislature, and Toronto politician Jack
Layton, debate the question tonight on Face Off, with hosts
Judy Rebick and Claire Hoy, at 8:30 and 12:30 (EASTERN) on
CBC Newsworld.
12. PAMELA WALLIN LIVE:
Tonight on Pamela Wallin Live...Kenneth Branagh. He is the
silver screen's latest Hamlet - for four hours! Not a
syllable of the Bard's play is missing in this Shakespearean
marathon. The acclaimed actor/director stops by to share his
thoughts on his craft, his passions and his philosophy.
That's on Pamela Wallin Live, tonight at 9:00 (EASTERN) on
CBC Newsworld.
