HOT SHEET FOR THURSDAY NOVEMBER 27, 1997
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THIS MORNING:
Coming up later on This Morning...reaction to the Krever
report. Also...morale (or lack thereof) in the federal public
service: top bureaucrats are part of another brain-drain. And
the updated version of a classic - the new Joy of Cooking.
Plus a conversation with Mission Specialist Dr. Dave
Williams, Canada's newest astronaut. He's slated to take off
next April, taking along crickets and rats - on purpose - to
complete some scientific experiments. That's on This
Morning, 9:12 to noon, (9:42 to 12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. RICHARDSON'S ROUNDUP:
Later today on Richardson's Roundup...a crowded corral. You
can expect to hear about drunken sailors, novice nuns,
tree house builders, and baby brains. You'll also hear from
Lorne Elliot, hosting another episode of Madly Off in All
Directions. That's this afternoon on Richardson's Roundup at
2:06 (2:36 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. AS IT HAPPENS:
Tonight on As It Happens...A home-owner in Australia wants
her neighbours to keep down the noise. She's living next
door to a public school, and she claims the kids make more
noise than a jet airplane. Hear her side of the argument.
That's tonight on As It Happens, at 6:30 (7:00 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
4. IDEAS:
Tonight on Ideas, a trip back in time to Victoria, British
Columbia in the year 1890. Before the turn of the last
century, Victoria had its roots as much in the goldrush days
of San Francisco as in staid, seaside England. It was the
largest city on Canada's west coast. When Vancouver
outstripped the island capital in 1900, Victoria changed
character to become "more English than the English."
Tonight, Part One of a two-part portrait of Victoria at its
turning-point. That's on Ideas, at 9:05 (9:35 NT) on CBC
Radio. (CONCLUDES TOMORROW.)
5. BETWEEN THE COVERS:
Today on Between the Covers, continuing the story of "The
Jade Peony." It's the story of a Chinese immigrant family
in wartime Vancouver, as told by three children. Sek-Leung,
or Sekky, the youngest child, is only eight years old. But
even the schoolyard doesn't shelter him from events
taking place on the other side of the world. Hear "The Jade
Peony," on Between the Covers, in Hour One of Richardson's
Roundup, which begins at 2:06 (2:36 NT) and later tonight at
10:43 (11:13 NT) on CBC Radio One.

classical extravaganza from Montreal. The stunning concert
was recorded in Toronto at Canzine, Canada's annual meeting

11. MAN ALIVE: ***CLIP AVAILABLE***
This week on Man Alive, "Take One Away." Over twenty years
ago, Jack Bender hacked a man to death in cold blood. Now
he is struggling to find redemption by tracing the roots of
his inhumanity. Jack's mother, Eleanor, has been carrying a
burden of guilt for his deed. But it's a burden she may no
longer be willing to bear. Find out more in "Take One
Away," on Man Alive, with host R. H. Thomson, tonight at
7:00 p.m. on CBC Television.
12. THE HEALTH SHOW: ***CLIP AVAILABLE***
Tonight on The Health Show...an hour-long special on
Concussion. Brett Lindros, Pat Lafontaine, Matt Dunigan and
many others have something in common - they have all
suffered major concussions playing sports. Most players
think the odd whack on the head is part of the game, but
what they often don't realize is that they are experiencing
a brain injury in the form of a concussion. Matt Dunigan's
football career and Brett Lindros' career in hockey both
ended because of concussion injury. Now players and coaches
are learning to take concussion more seriously. Find out
more on The Health Show tonight at 7:30 on CBC Television.
13. WITNESS: ***CLIP AVAILABLE***
Tonight on Witness, "Modern Heroes, Modern Slaves." It's
been called the largest migration of people since the Middle
Ages. Each day, thousands of Filipinos leave their country
to seek work in some 160 countries around the world. Faced
with no prospect of employment in their own country, these
men and women work abroad as nannies, domestics, clerks and
laborers often for meagre wages and with few rights.
"Modern Heroes, Modern Slaves" looks at this mass labor
export through the stories of some of the people caught up
in it. The billions of dollars they send home to their
families each year have become a crucial source of revenue
for the Philippine economy. But that's only half the story.
The other side involves abuse, family breakdown and
more. Find out more in "Modern Heroes, Modern Slaves" on
Witness, tonight at 8:00 p.m. on CBC Television.

14. PAMELA WALLIN:
Tonight on Pamela Wallin...Freedom of the Press. Pam
continues her week in Hong Kong with a thoughtful and
provocative look at free speech and democracy with three
Hong Kong-based journalists. Later...Cultural Phenomena.
Ong Chin Huat, social editor of the South China Morning
Post, explores the lifestyles of the rich and famous in one
of the richest spots in Asia. That's on Pamela Wallin
tonight at 10:00 (EASTERN) on CBC Newsworld.
