Is this true?  WHY would they do that?  Next to the simple shots of
(tiny) Kate sitting on her heels, that brief moment was one of the best
in the video (IMFO, of course).  Why cut out *anything* when going from
the broadcast version to the "home" version?  If anything, you'd think
the videos might get longer.

Finally, does the commercial release of the videotape mean that we'll
see no new videos in the near future?
