История о поэте, придворном льстеце, пресловутом распутнике Джоне Уилмоте, графе Рочестере. После возвращения на трон Карла II Британия пребывает в упадке, и Уилмот умело этим пользуется. Он любит женщин и любит вино, он лишен каких бы то ни было нравственных ориентиров, он кутит и пишет стихи. Но постепенно он начинает раздражать многих: от собственной жены до самого короля…

Slowly able to walk and speak again, she believes her illness is linked to aspartame. She is a co-owner of a video/film production company.

To confront the tobacco cartel, anti-smoking groups are organizing and scoring points, but the fight remains fierce. With ist diverse viewpoints, shocking interviews and riveting images, The Tobacco Conspiracy deftly defines the issues in a complex situation where private interests and the public good collide. Enlightening and engrossing, this documentary is a hard-hitting critique of an industry gone mad.

An extramarital affair leads to a young couple contracting venereal disease.
One of America's best-known and most respected doctors offers a sensible approach to eating: He emphasizes enjoyment over deprivation, and long-term health benefits over short-term weight loss. Dr. Weil assures us that there is no confusion among nutrition experts about the optimal diet for health, body weight, and longevity. Understanding inflammation to be the root cause of many chronic illnesses, he gives science-based recommendations to help combat specific health concerns, all as part of an anti-inflammatory diet. On the subject of dietary supplements, he talks about what's perilous and what can help.
This film explains how sneezing in public can spread disease, and shows how using a handkerchief can stop it.

Since the invention of the wheel we have striven to make great machines that would make our lives more productive and efficient, however we will almost certainly never invent a machine as efficient as the human body. Each component of the machine is given in depth attention with the same clarity and insightful touch you have come to expect from the Eyewitness books. There are over 206 bones, half of which are in the hands and feet. A total of 640 muscles contract and exert pressure, working together with our skeleton to turn power and strength into movement and precision. Our bodies are incredibly resilient machines, and conversely life is very fragile. After all, unlike any other, this machine can reproduce itself.
