Speaking of FC, I am trying to locate a copy of Frontline's Prisoners of 
Silence.  PBS headquarters no longer offers it for sale.  I think that it's 
still quite timely, but our library's VHS copy is rapidly deteriorating, and 
unless I can find a copy to purchase I don't know how long I can continue to 
use the material.  Does anyone either know where a copy is still available for 
purchase, or (perhaps the long shot) know how to get PBS to reissue it?

Bill! I guess you don't fully read and digest and store away someplace  
in the netherlands of your memory, all TiPS discussions ;)

We had a rather interesting discussion about this when Syracuse hired  
as it's dean of the school of education Douglas Biklen, a proponent of  
FC. Should be in the archives.

Wikipedia has a nice summary of the current state of affairs.

ps: then again, my memory has been really failing me lately, c.f., the  
discussion of Anne Murray versus Helen Reddy; so maybe the FC  
discussion was on PsychTeach....
