The first NOVA tape details the detective work that led to the identification of a chemical substance, MPTP, contaminating designer heroin and leading to instant parkinsonism. The second program followed up the cohort of victims with an emphasis on their treatment with a fetal implant. The two tapes were (and possibly still are) available at the Parkinson Institute at about $20 each. Th tapes are very interesting and upbeat. Allan
