Diana Whitten, her film is called Vessel. A vessel that sails in international waters, briefly entering ports in Brazil. They display a phone number on the side of the ship for women to call who want an abortion. They mail the women the over the counter medicine Misoprostol to use in the privacy in their own home. Taken under the tongue, the result is identical to a regular miscarriage with fewer complications than the prevalent illegal abortions.

How do you set the volume on an embedded Vimeo? Some of us use headphones; it would be nice to turn it down a bit.
Gah! Wake you up, did it? I didn't know you could dictate level of sound when embedding... Maybe like choosing the size? I will check...
Most embedded video players have a volume control, without your having to do anything to have it displayed.
There are several video-intensive sites now (Olbermann on Current is one) that start every video with volume on the maximum. Finish one video and start another on the same site, and they crank it back up to the maximum again. Call them "slow learners."
On an only slightly less controversial subject: I am not completely unsympathetic to those Harvard undergraduates, but I have to note that Mankiw is a known quantity, and Harvard is his home. Maybe those students should have chosen another university?
I suppose, though, that it is part of one's education to learn to deal with people in authority who are undeserving of one's respect...
Like you, I don't mind the protests. I think it shows students can intelligently question authority. As long as they can come back to class and learn things.
They still have to pass his tests. :)
