In Search of History: Frankenstein (1997) #1118
DOCUMENTARY
Main
42 mins. The History Channel. It is the most famous monster in literature. The enduring creation of Mary Shelley has appeared in countless films and books since it was dreamed up by the 20 year old wife of the famed poet Percy Shelley. But is it possible that the story of the grotesque monster assembled from the parts of cadavers is rooted in the truth? FRANKENSTEIN investigates the true stories of two men who may be at the heart of the classic tale. First, travel to the castle near Frankfurt where an 18th century German doctor conducted gruesome experiments on corpses and live humans! There are startling parallels between what is known of his experiments and Shelley's tale. Another possible source is the work of amateur British scientist Andrew Crosse, who claimed to have generated life in the course of electrical experiments. He was silenced by a religious outcry against his god-like claim, but is his story at the heart of Frankenstein? |

In November 1972, five months after the break-in, Nixon is returned to office. 3 Scapegoat: President Richard Nixon had the Watergate burglars paid to keep silent about their links to the White House, a cover-up that enabled him to win a second presidential term in 1972. But once the facts began to emerge, the president sought a succession of scapegoats. The revelation that conversations in his office had been recorded meant his crimes were no longer a secret. 4 Massacre: The so-called Saturday Night Massacre, the chain of events that unfolded on 20 October 1973, when President Nixon demanded that special prosecutor Archibald Cox be fired. 5 Impeachment: President Nixon clings on to the White House as the case against him mounts.

The Three Tenors in Concert (1990) #644
MUSIC
Main
The Three Tenors in Concert, recorded live in Rome in 1990, holds the distinction in the Guinness Book of World Records (in 2010) of being the best-selling classical album of all time. The concert, held at the Baths of Caracella, took place July 7, 1990, just before the opening of the Soccer World Cup Final. This concert and album, which initiated the Three Tenors phenomenon, had the original purpose of raising funds for the José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation and boosting the career of Carreras, who had only recently recovered from the disease. Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and Carreras take turns singing opera arias, Broadway hits, and traditional Neapolitan songs, but on several tracks, the three tenors sing together. Zubin Mehta accompanies the singers, leading the orchestras of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. See: http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-three-tenors-in-concert-mw0001540440 |
