39466a39653,39695
PL: For years, one of America's favorite board games was Scrabble, the Selchow
PL: & Righter-marketed game introduced in the 1930s. The game was revised
PL: and brought to television in 1984 by Reg Grundy Productions. Two
PL: contestants competed in the "crossword" round, played on a giant
PL: Scrabble board. Host Woolery announces a letter to build on, announces
PL: the number of letters in the word and reads a clue to said word (e.g.,
PL: a seven letter word; "Experts really know how to pick them"; answer:
PL: "pockets"). The contestant chosen to go first draws two numbered tiles
PL: from the rack; the rack (positioned between the contestants) contained
PL: all the letters in the word, plus three "stoppers," or letters not in
PL: the puzzle. The contestant indicates which letter he wants to place in
PL: the word; if the letter fits, he/she may either attempt to guess the
PL: word or place another letter in the puzzle (the contestant draws two
PL: more tiles if he/she still doesn't attempt a guess). If the letter
PL: tried is a "stopper" or the contestant gives an incorrect solution,
PL: control passes to the opponent; letters landing on blue or pink squares
PL: were worth cash bonuses if they correctly guessed the word (#500 and
PL: #1,000 respectively, which the players kept regardless if they won the
PL: game). Play on the current word continues until all three "stoppers"
PL: are found (at which time a "speedword" format was used) or until one
PL: letter remained in the puzzle. The contestant who guesses the word
PL: correctly wins one point; all subsequent words were built on a letter
PL: in the previous word. The first player to win three points won the
PL: game, #500 and played the Sprint Round. In the Sprint Round, the
PL: contestant played vs. the returning champion to guess a given number of
PL: words in a shorter time period than the opponent. Either way, the
PL: "speedword" format was used, with Woolery giving the number of letters
PL: in the word and a clue. The contestant was shown two letters at a time;
PL: there were no "stoppers" in the Sprint Round, though a 10-second
PL: penalty was assessed for incorrect guesses. The winner of the Sprint
PL: Round received a cash bonus (usually #1,000), returns as champion and
PL: played the Bonus Sprint against the clock. In the Bonus Sprint, the
PL: contestant had to guess two words, again under the "speedword" format,
PL: within 10 seconds to win #5,000 (plus #1,000 for each day it was not
PL: won); an incorrect guess at any point stopped the game. Champions
PL: continued until their defeat or until winning 10 Sprint Rounds. The
PL: rules o both the crossword and Sprint rounds changed several times
PL: during the show's run, most commonly relating to bonuses and the Sprint
PL: Round formats and how returning champions were determined; the above
PL: plot summary indicates the most enduring format.

MV: Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, The (1987)
PL: Based on an Oliver Sacks case study, Dr P is a baritone opera singer who
PL: cannot distinguish his students until they speak. He suffers from
PL: visual agnosia, more specifically prosopagnosia, which only allows him
PL: to see details that he must cognitively assemble to identify an object.
PL: For example, he can describe a rose as a "convoluted red form with a
PL: linear green extension," but can only identify it as a rose by
PL: smell. Dr S, the neurologist, examines him, first in a clinic,
PL: then in his home environment, and deals with Dr P's concerned wife,
PL: culminating in a heated argument about whether Dr P's paintings are
PL: abstract art or the result of his occipital degeneration. Dr S only
PL: learns how Dr and Mrs P cope with the situation, but cannot diagnose
PL: the situation. The opera, filmed cinematically on locations and
PL: sets and not on a theatrical stage, is intercut, sometimes jarringly,
PL: with footage of Oliver Sacks reflecting on his encounters with Dr P, as
PL: well as scenes of a pathologist examining the real Dr P's brain,
PL: identifying his condition as a rare but not unique symptom of
PL: Alzheimer's, for until near the very end his only symptoms were
PL: strictly occipital, suggesting, perhaps, a tumor. This material, which
PL: is sometimes redundant, gives the film the effect of a documentary with
PL: staged reenactments, only the reenactments are operatic rather than
PL: standard non-musical drama.

PL: birth of their nine children are featured, as is Albert's frustration

PL: two Prime Minister's, the resentment the British government felt about
PL: a German interfering in matters of state and Albert's greatest
PL: achievement - The Great Exhibition of 1851 - are all intertwined
PL: in this remarkable love story which ended tragically in 1861
PL: with Albert's early death from typhoid.
