The old English carol receives a complete makeover on this holiday dinnerware from Rosanna. A leggy dancer in the mode of Ginger Rogers, the Eiffel Tower, and such modern colors as lime green and turquoise transform these 12 small appetizer plates into works of contemporary art. Each of the dozen is different, with numbers, words, and graphics scattered across each plate willy-nilly, as if stamped on the white background by an enthusiastic child. Indeed, children will love pointing out the Scottie dog, swans, rocking horse, and other amusing 'characters.' Made of refined porcelain in a squared, scalloped shape, the six-inch plates are trimmed with 24-carat gold for holiday elegance. These appetizer-size dishes may also serve as side salad or dessert plates in conjunction with the 12 Days Of Christmas dinner plates, each of which is identical. The 12 numbers and graphics covering the borders help jog the memory as to how many maids a-milking and lords a-leaping the verses contain, so that guests might just break into song. Totally endearing, the dinnerware sets make very popular gifts and come in equally festive gift boxes. A little care will ensure these plates become heirlooms; because of the gold trim, microwave use should be avoided and washing by hand is recommended. --Ann Bieri

What higher praise could one lavish on a 300-minute documentary series about an all-too-familiar subject other than that the production makes old news seem quite new again? Rarely has an ambitious documentary project gone to such lengths to reintroduce a notorious chapter in world history as did The Nazis: Warning from History, a BBC series originally brought to American audiences by the History Channel. It may sound unlikely, but chances are viewers will feel they are hearing the story of Adolf Hitler and the rise of the Nazi party for the first time. There's a reason for that: a considerable amount of information and film footage incorporated into the program is relatively new and unknown to the general public, much of it discovered in the former East Germany and other one-time Soviet bloc nations. These include striking color images of jack-booted Nazi troopers parading in Berlin, Hitler arriving at a conference, and street scenes that give this production an almost shocking immediacy. There are also uncovered documents relating to Hitler's entrance into extremist political life, his manipulation of German justice, and the strange story of why Germany ended up in a war with Great Britain (a nation Hitler actually admired). Aided immensely by British historian Ian Kershaw, an expert on the Nazi era, the series explains a lot of things, from Hitler's popularity with big business and rural voters (who knew almost nothing about him) to the convoluted reasons Germany's invasion of Russia helped turn a policy of expelling Jews into a decision to murder them in death camps. The Nazis makes the entire period from the end of World War I to Hitler's suicide a living nightmare again, one from which every nation on Earth can yet distill the lessons of scapegoating neighbors and embracing the promises of madmen. --Tom Keogh

" The rise of Hitler was inevitable. The Gestapo received little help from ordinary Germans. The Nazi government was organized and efficient. There was widespread German resistance to the Nazis. Many people believe these statements. They are all false. THE NAZIS: A WARNING FROM HISTORY is the definitive history of the Third Reich, exposing many widely-held myths. Extensive commentary from world- renowned scholars like Ian Kershaw, bestselling author of Hitler and The Hitler Myth, recently discovered documents and archival footage from former Soviet-Bloc nations and riveting eyewitness testimony combine in this landmark series. Hear chilling testimony from a convicted war criminal who stares blankly when asked if his conscience bothers him for sending Jews to their death. Explore the reasons for the Germans' refusal to surrender even when their fate was obvious to the entire world. And see how Hitler's dependence on his underlings led to some of the most radical policies of Nazi Germany. From the brownshirts and Kristalnacht to Hitler's suicide, join host Roger Mudd for the true, shocking history of Nazi Germany."

In May 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) held its Paris Millennium Event at the College de France. On this occasion, CMI unveiled the "Millennium Prize Problems", seven mathematical quandaries that have long resisted solution. The video by the filmmaker F. Tisseyre provides a portrait of CMI, its culture and the people behind it, as well as of the spirit of the CMI Millennium Event. Excerpts from interviews explain the significance of the prize problems and the challenges they pose. The video of T. Gowers' Keynote Address at the CMI Millennium Meeting is a lucid, dynamic presentation of the deep and important question of the relevance of mathematics to society, delivered by one of the best mathematicians of the modern age. The Problems were set forth by two of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, J. Tate and M. Atiyah. The set of two lectures by Tate and Atiyah together comprise a complete description of the Millennium Prize Problems, presented in an entertaining style.

At first glance, the very concept of WWII in HD seems like an oxymoron. After all, isn't the footage from back then nothing more than grainy black-and-white newsreel? And really, how much definition can be added to film that was shot more than 60 years ago? The answers: no, and quite a lot, actually. The quality of much of what is seen in the course of these 10 episodes (each around 45 minutes long) is surprisingly good. Add to that the fact that most of it is in color (not colorized, but originally recorded in that medium, some at the behest of the United States government), and the result is nothing short of astonishing. It's not easy viewing; there are sequences that are shockingly graphic (vivid examples include the carnage on view after major battles and the shots of Japanese civilians on the Pacific island of Saipan hurling themselves off cliffs to avoid capture by American troops). But all of it has been put to good use in what is undoubtedly one of the most compelling accounts of World War II ever produced. Other documentaries have chronicled the same events seen here, from the earliest days of the war (when Hitler was overrunning Europe and the ill-prepared Americans were still years away from becoming involved), through Pearl Harbor, the major confrontations with the Japanese in the Pacific theater (like Guadalcanal, Tarawa, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the incomparably bloody Iwo Jima) and with the Germans in Europe and North Africa (the invasion of Tunisia, D-day, the Battle of the Bulge), and straight on to victory in Europe and finally the Japanese surrender after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But what separates WWII in HD is the filmmakers' decision to view these events through the experiences of a dozen individuals who were actually there, including a couple of war correspondents (one of whom, Richard Tregaskis, was the author of the seminal Guadalcanal Diary); an Austrian immigrant who escaped the Nazis and almost immediately enlisted in the U.S. Army; a nurse with General George Patton's Third Army; an African-American pilot who was one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen; a Japanese-American medic who fought heroically while his family was held in an internment camp; and others from the rank and file. All of them are voiced by such actors as Rob Lowe, Amy Smart, Steve Zahn, Josh Lucas, and LL Cool J; and with Gary Sinise providing voice-over narration, the whole piece comes off as a dramatic film as much as a straight documentary (an effect also enhanced by some brilliantly creative juxtapositions of words, images, and music). Not all of these men and women made it through the war (those still alive also appear in on-camera interviews), but none could ever forget the horrors they witnessed, and while those of us who did not serve will never really comprehend the sacrifices they made, this remarkable program may be as close as we can get. --Sam GrahamStills from WWII in HD (Click for larger image)
