Colleagues -

Good Afternoon.  Let me first apologize for interrupting your day and 
for any duplication of this message.  I'd like to take this opportunity 
to recommend viewing of "Partners of the Heart" a documentary airing as 
part of American Experience tonight from 9-10 on MPT and WETA.  Having 
been invited to a screening last weekend, I can attest that this 
documentary tells a great story and combines plenty of archival 
materials from the collections at Johns Hopkins and other institutions. 
The story is about the relationship between white surgeon Alfred 
Blalock and his African-American "technician" Vivien Thomas and how 
they worked together to develop the procedure for treating "blue 
babies" in the 1940s.  In the interest of full disclosure, I'll note 
that I was once employed as the reference archivist for the Alan Mason 
Chesney Medical Archives at Hopkins.

Thanks,
Arian Ravanbakhsh
