"Although George's depression did not disappear and he is still on medication, the bullet's action has enabled him to resume a normal life and go on to college." (Washington Post). New York Times article even relates that he is "now a straight-A college student". How ironic is that? Losch chooses to "skim read" the story - failing to fact check the slightest details - and shoots himself in the foot. Losch has actually quoted about this failed suicide to CONDEMN education...failing to be aware that the REAL person actually ends up in HIGHER EDUCATION.

Good point.

It appears that Dr. Austin published these findings in 1991. This relates to research conducted “between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s American college students became much more focused on material goals and less concerned with altruism and social problems.”

Here is the source:

Steve2 suggests that there is a "Julie Walters Broadcasting."

I am quite upset, I have been a Julie Walters fan since Educating Rita. One of my top 10 movies ever. However, I am not aware of a Julie Walters Broadcasting network, tell me where I can sign up.

I am sure these were expensive to produce. Which, is justification for stopping the production.
