Hello again, Everyone: I am looking forward to hearing more about Jim Finn's interview on the CBC (the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). I am lucky enough to live within their range, and can vouch for the quality of their programming (somewhat similar to our own NPR (National Public Radio). I have reviewed Jim's web-site and am extremely impressed by it. I understand that my friend Janet has had a hand in it. It's wonderfully organized, and speaks to the "gold" that is there for the mining in this List's archives (where I have been spending a great deal of my time lately!). I found the CBC webpage describing the program in some detail, and it also has a direct link to the webpage where one can listen to the radio program live over the internet. It starts this morning (!) at 09:11 a.m. (such precision!) but I get the impression that Jim's segment will not be the first item. See below. I'm not sure how the various time zones across the country are handled, but I understand that the show will be archived in Real Audio sound files on the CBC website. I notice that tapes and transcripts are also available. >From one Jim to another, Bravo! and, How do you do it all? Best regards, Jim Turnbull http://radio.cbc.ca/programs/thismorning/index_newsite_sundaypromo.html this week on the program Sunday Edition, January 05, 2002 Skidelsky on Keynes: Join Michael Enright in conversation with Lord Robert Skidelsky, an economic historian and much acclaimed biographer of one of the most respected economists of all time John Maynard Keynes.

The series is an indepth look at how medical technologies could change our humanity. His documentary "Who are the Guinea Pigs?" looks at xenotransplantation, the transplantation of living cells, tissues and organs from one species to another species. Jim Finn is featured in the documentary. He is a former late-stage Parkinson patient who talks about his affliction, the xenotransplantation using pig embryo cells, and the results. Bob Carty's series continues throughout the week on This Morning. Hank Williams: Hank William's life was short - he didn't live to see thirty, but he's still known as the best country singer of all time. The Alabama singer died in the backseat of a car on his way to a New Year's day concert in 1953 - 49 years ago this week. A new book about Hank Williams was compiled by Colin Escott, a music historian, and Kira Florita, who produced a grammy winning Hank Williams complete boxed set of recordings. Their book is "Hank Williams: Snapshots from the Lost Highway."
