For registered nurse Liberty Bunag, however, it's finally time to go home and sleep. She began her shift 12 hours ago with an extra4arge coffee and since has consumed a liter of caffeinated soda, more coffee and lots of rice, her personal energy food.

While the rest of society sleeps, police officers, security guards, truck drivers, office cleaning crews, hotel desk clerks, nurses, pilots and many others keep streets safe, packages moving and patients alive.

Now scientific evidence suggests their disrupted circadian rhythms also may cause a kind of biological revolt, raising their likelihood of obesity, cancer, reproductive health problems, mental illness and gastrointestinal disorders. The evidence for an in- creased cancer risk is so compelling that, in December, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a unit of the World Health Organization, declared that shift work is "probably carcinogenic to humans."

Dennis Corrigan sometimes questions his decision to switch to a night shift 12 years ago.

But Corrigan sleeps only about six hours a day. He has put on weight and gets less exercise than before the switch and was diagnosed with diabetes five years ago. "The rough part is, when I come home, I'm hungry," he says. "I eat a heavy meal before going off to bed. You're not supposed to do that. It's a worry." His circadian rhythms may be to blame. Those rhythms determine when certain body processes take place.

"Do people regard (the Klan) as something comical, as kind of a comic opera?' Wallace asked him. "What do you think of the NAACP?" A Time magazine profile has labeled the Mike Wallace of that era "hypersensational." Or was he just tougher and more direct?

But whether alive or dead, familiar to the contemporary viewer or unknown, a high percentage of these interview subjects shed light on the world they inhabited and, even from that distance, they can shed light on our world, too. Wallace interviewed the great architect and unbridled social critic Frank Lloyd Wright for two shows that aired in September 1957. The Wright, whose designs remain forever young, responded with equanimity to Wallace's interrogation, which began not with architecture but in the realm of organized religioa "Why organize it?"
