- 4666: Economics
- ... economics easily evolves into the science of making most people miserable. Nine-tenths of life are economic. The remaining one-tenth is social- political.

The ... virulent philosophy of the 19th Century was not that of Dewey or Schopenhauer. It was that of a fellow named Karl Marx, a Germam. In his book, Das Kapitas, he sets out to destroy the world of capitalism, by introducing the philosophy of Communism, borrowed in some part eviidently from Lycurgus, of the ancient Greek State of Sparta. Marx has succeeded to date (though himself dead and buried in England) in extending his philosophy over perhaps two-thirds of the world's population and upsettiing the remainder most thoroughly. Capitalism, under attack, surviving only in the West in a faint form, has borrowed so heavily from Marx in it's modern "Socialism" that it cannot ...

- 4668: MTV and The Madonna Phenomenon
- MTV and The Madonna Phenomenon "Madonna's intuitive grasp on the televisual world in which we live- of the medium's possibilities for engaging spectators in diverse ways- that in part accounts for her success.

- 4669: Dr. Mengele
- ... the life and times of a man whose nickname was The Angel of Death. Josef s life and post-mortem fate could be divided into three different chapters. His pre-war life and life during World War II was one of privilege and freedom to satisfy his perverse desire to perform bizarre and mostly useless medical experiments on unwilling participants in Nazi death camps. His post-war life consisted of being constantly on the run; a lonely and depressed fugitive wanted by countries worldwide for the atrocities he committed against Jews, Poles, Gypsies, and others during World War II. His lonely death by drowning, in Brazil, and humiliating post-mortem fate suited the man well. Although this report might seem to follow a chronological order, it is not simply a telling of ... from Brazil portrayed it.
