MYSTERIOUS HUMAN HEART
THE MYSTERIOUS HUMAN HEART Airs October 15 and 22 at 9 p.m. (ET) on Thirteen/WNET New York MYSTERIOUS HUMAN Heart's one-hour episodes focuses on a different aspect of what we thought we knew, what we know now, and what we're on the verge of learning about the heart. Endlessly Beating examines the heart as a muscle - pumping almost 100,00 0 times a day, pushing approximately five quarts of blood in a ceaseless circuit to deliver oxygen to every cell in the human body. The Spark of Life looks at the physiological electrical mechanisms that keep a heart beating regularly and efficiently - and what happens when this most essential rhythm of life goes awry. The Silent Killer focuses on atherosclerosis, the silent blockage of the coronary arteries, which can trigger a devastating and possibly fatal heart attack. As this program shows, the key is to recognize the risk factors that feed the disease and to control them before it's too late.

AMERICAN MASTERS Good Ol' Charles Schulz
AMERICAN MASTERS Good Ol' Charles Schulz, premieres nationally Monday, October 29 at 9pm (ET) on Thirteen. This is a quintessentially Midwestern story of an unassuming, self-doubting man who, through expressing his unique view of the world, redefined the comic art form with Peanuts. His genius lay in depicting the daily collisions of insiders and outsiders, of mundane cruelties and transcendent hopes - seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. The Peanuts cast of characters is as familiar to us as our own siblings; their trials and tribulations speak of our families and evoke our childhood desperations. They are portrayed with whimsy and poignancy - and always with love and tolerance, each representing different facets of Schulz's personality and his perspectives on 20th-century America.

KEN BURNS INTERVIEW
Coming to PBS on September 23, 2007. This is a new seven-part documentary series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that explores the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective by following the fortunes of so-called ordinary men and women who become caught up in one of the greatest cataclysms in human history. Six years in the making, this epic 15-hour film focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns - Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota. These four communities stand in for - and could represent - any town in the United States that went through the war's four devastating years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through their own personal and quite often harrowing journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbors, as well as the country they helped to save for generations to come.
