HOT SHEET FOR WEEKEND OF MARCH 7 & 8, 1998
-- SATURDAY MARCH 7, 1998 --
1. THE HOUSE:
This week on The House, the week in national politics...
Paul Adams is sitting in for Jason Moscovitz. This week, an
interview with Health Minister Alan Rock, who admits that
home care is a pressing need and promises the federal
government will come up with money for it. Surprisingly,
Rock also exhorts Canadians to lobby his government for
more health care spending. Jennifer Fry reports from
grass-roots Quebec on reaction to the resignation of
Liberal leader Daniel Johnson. And an update on the Nova
Scotia election campaign: what does it say when the
"undecided" party tops the polls? All that and more this
week on The House, the week in national politics with Paul
Adams, Saturday after World Report at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
2. BASIC BLACK:
This week on Basic Black...Arthur visits the Impossible
Dream - a self-cleaning house. Then he checks into the
cosmic conundrum posed by "crop circles" - those odd
patterns that appear mysteriously in farm fields: are they
the work of visitors from outer space, or is there some more
prosaic explanation? And if THAT weren't mystery enough,
Arthur convenes the March gathering of the Hum Line - the
tune-spotting triumvirate of Rogers, Marks and Mister Black
himself. That's this week on Basic Black, Saturday at 10:05
(10:35 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. GREAT EASTERN:
This week on The Great Eastern, Newfoundland's Cultural
Magazine, join host Paul Moth for another peek at the
cultural goings-on in Newfoundland. This week: spirit
photographer Brendan Blackmore captures Paul's aura for

Eldon Boland. All this on Newfoundland's Cultural Magazine,
The Great Eastern, Saturday morning at 11:31 a.m. (12:01 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
4. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:

In December, at the international conference on climate
change in Japan, Canada promised to cut carbon emissions.

this year, amid charges that Kinsey's research methods were
wildly flawed. But Kinsey's not the only researcher-icon
being criticized. Pop culture historian Nathan Greenfield
looks at scientific scandal, ideology, and popular culture.
Nora chats with Neil Rosenberg, recent co-winner of a Grammy
for the liner notes that accompanied the CD re-issue of the
classic Anthology of American Folk Music. And in the final
hour, drummer Neko Case brings a stellar backup band to her
country-roots concert in Vancouver. That's on Definitely Not
the Opera starting at 1:08 pm (1:38 NT) on CBC Radio One.

Saturday on The World This Weekend...Lifting the Veil on
Iran. Last month, for the first time in more than 18 years,
a U.S. flag was carried by Americans in Iran - and cheered
by hundreds of Iranians. It was just an American wrestling
team, in town for an international meet. But it signalled a
remarkable change in a country where the phrase, "Death to
America" was as common as "hello". Join guest host Barbara
Smith, as she talks with a Canadian journalist about life in
the "new" Iran. That's Saturday on The World This Weekend at
6:00 pm (7 AT; 7:30 NT) on both CBC Radio One and CBC Radio
Two.

Jewish clothier who comes from Toronto to live with his TV

travelling in time and space to ask two loaded questions: 1.

20. ROUGH CUTS:
This week on Rough Cuts...an encore presentation of "10-7
For Life," an intimate portrait of one burnt-out cop who has
to leave the force for her own sanity and peace of mind.
"10-7 for Life" documents the last two weeks in the life of
Carol Banks as a Toronto Police Officer. After 14 years of
service in the Parkdale area of Toronto, Banks realizes she
must leave the force. It was difficult decision to make
since she came from a family of cops, and her father, a
retired Police Superintendent, wanted her to maintain the
85-year family tradition. Filmmaker Cynthia Banks captures
remarkable raw footage of her sister Carol taking her final
calls on the streets of Toronto. It captures the intensity
of life in 14 Division and the absurdities of her world -
from the near-routine of a gang shooting to the shocking
murder of a colleague. That's "10-7 For Life," on
Rough Cuts Saturday at 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. (EASTERN) on CBC
Newsworld.
21. FACE OFF:
This week on Face Off...what should Canada's immigration
and refugee policies be? Immigration Minister Lucienne
Robillard is criss-crossing Canada sounding out public
opinion on the latest set of recommendations. But they are
controversial: they include requiring proficiency in either
English or French, tougher rules for family sponsorship,
and hiring more bureaucrats to process refugee claims. Are
these kinds of changes needed? And are they the right
changes? Join the debate on Face Off, with hosts
Judy Rebick and Claire Hoy, Saturday at 3:00 p.m. (EASTERN)
on CBC Newsworld.
--- WEEKEND HOT SHEET, SUNDAY MARCH 8, 1998 ---

This Sunday, Tapestry continues an exploration of the world

Americans to prostrate themselves in front of some exotic
spiritual master from the East? George Feuerstein is a
writer and authority on Eastern religions and yoga; he is
well aware of the pitfalls of journeying on the spiritual
path. For him, finding a guru you trust may be hard enough,
but becoming the right kind of follower or disciple is
another, even more important matter. Find out more in the
conclusion of "Gurus" this week on Tapestry, with host Judy

15. SAY IT WITH MUSIC:
This week on Say It With Music...Guilty Pleasures. There are
some musicals that people don't actually like to admit
having a fondness for. Maybe they were flops, or maybe
they're too unsophisticated, or maybe they were just plain
awful. That doesn't stop you from loving them, and Richard

including songs from Darling of the Day, Maggie Flynn, Man
With a Load of Mischief, Celebration, and other perhaps

20. HOLLYWOODISM: JEWS, MOVIES AND THE AMERICAN DREAM:
This Sunday evening, CBC Television presents the world
television premiere of "Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the
American Dream." From the impoverished shtetls of Hungary,
Poland and Russia, they came to America with dreams of
white picket fences - communities where families were
important, people helped each other and the little guy could
make it big. What became widely accepted as the American
dream was essentially forged in Hollywood by a handful of
East European Jews. Based on Neal Gabler's controversial
best-selling book, "An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews
Invented Hollywood," the film takes viewers on a fascinating
journey through the establishment of Hollywood, the triumphs
of the Golden Age of the 1920s and 1930s, the Second World
War and the attack on Hollywood during the McCarthy era.
It's a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how a
relatively small group shaped an entire industry, and, in
the process, re-made America's vision of itself. Don't miss
"Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream," Sunday
at 8:00 p.m. on CBC Television.
21. UNDERCURRENTS:
This week on Undercurrents...a special program devoted to
three versions of media reality. First, the Millennium Bug:
how much of the problem is real and how much is
media-created hype? Then, an encounter with "The Unknown
Celebrity," an Edmonton man who has made a career of being
on the news, at least 120 times to date, outsmarting those
in the media who try to shut him out. And finally, an
exploration of the media's fascination with luxury: does
this focus on conspicuous wealth reflect reality - - or
just marketing? That's this week on Undercurrents, with
host Wendy Mesley, Sunday night at 10:30 p.m. on CBC
Television.
--- NEWSWORLD ---
22. THE PASSIONATE EYE:
This week on The Passionate Eye, "The Mini-skirted Dynamo,"
Rivka Hartman's deeply personal portrait of her mother, Dora
Bialestock. Dora Bialestock was a well-respected
pathologist, intellectual, role model for many young people,
and pioneer lobbyist for neglected children. Although Dora
was a compassionate "mother to others", she was unable to
provide loving affection to her own daughter and left Rivka
in the care of her "buba" (grandmother). In 1975, at the
age of 50, in good physical health and at the peak of her
career, Dora committed suicide. By examining the
mother-daughter association between three generations of
Jewish women, Hartman learns what sort of woman her mother
was, and why they had a "love-hate" relationship. She also
discovers how this influenced her interaction with her own
child. "I hope I'm like Dora, I'm proud if I am, but I hope
I'm not too like her," says Hartman. Find out why in "The
Mini-skirted Dynamo," on The Passionate Eye, Sunday night at
8:00 p.m. (EASTERN) on CBC Newsworld.
