Disarmament Now! Episode 1 of 4. Linus Pauling (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) and Professor Henry Way Kendall (December 9, 1926 – February 15, 1999). Professor Kendall, MIT, describes the results of nuclear warfare, how the USSR is vulnerable to nuclear attack, how it would affect the ozone shield and therefore us.

| Gay and pregnant: interview with expectant lesbian mother / produced by Philip Maldari |
A gay lifestyle does not necessarily exclude parenthood. Many gay men and lesbians were parents before they came out, and today some have chosen to have children after coming out. Philip Maldari interviews an expectant lesbian mother about her feelings about family, parenting, and artificial insemination. Phil also shares his feelings about being a donor. Note on label: Self-contained. Needs disclaimer. There is an explicit description about the process of artificial insemination so if your community is not going to like sex education over the air, don't get this one. No actual Carlin words but penis and vagina are used. |
