[Note: I apologize for the poor visual quality of this video; it was made from a PAL-format (European) VHS tape that was copied from an ancient NTSC-format U-matic tape, recorded by a prosumer-grade JVC video camera, at the Incredible Slidemakers studio in New York, as the slide show played on a white wall “screen.”]
