I reckon the show goes back to the old 1960s TV western world of "Gunsmoke" as one of the cast's curmungeon's takes to song and probably shouldn't. Another organ that isn't that magical and cheezy message music from that "candy man" rat pack member getting serious for the kids...way outta sight man.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda has sent Rwandans tried by the ICTR to be incarcerated in various countries in Africa and this has led to problems of unequal treatment. Authorities in Benin have arbitrarily acted to remove the prisoner’s private computers. The prisoners need their computers for legal work and for personal records. Taking the computers violates their rights. Those in believe in justice and equality under the law must speak up and demand the UN do its duty and restore the computers and the rights of the prisoners.

Steven Starr says: “Long lived radio-nuclides such as Cesium 137 are something new to us as a species. Although they are invisible to our senses they are millions of times more poisonous than most of the common poisons we are familiar with. They emit radiation, invisible forms of matter and energy, that we might compare to fire. It’s not a fire that can be scattered of suffocated because it burns at the atomic level, it comes from the disintegration of single atoms”.
Starr gives an update as to what people in Japan are facing now and into the future. He explains how Cesium 137 is created in the Nuclear Power Plant and how it disperses and continues to move. How it enters the body, mainly via contaminated food, and bio-accumulates in humans, plants and animals.
In 2013 Starr was Senior Scientist with Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Clinical Laboratory Science Program Director at the University of Missouri. Today (Sept. 2024) Professor Starr is still teaching his class: Environmental, Health and Social Effects of Nuclear Weapons at the University of Missouri. And he publishes with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the Federation of American Scientists. His website is nuclearfamine.org where he maintains up to date lists of the unknown, deadly consequences of nuclear war.
He was recorded on March 11, 2013 at the New York Academy of Medicine. Thanks to Helen Caldicott and her Foundation that organized the event, and to the cosponsor Physicians for Social Responsibility.
