| The CMU_FAF (Facts and Fables) database was constructed at the 
    Language Technologies Institute
    at Carnegie Mellon University.  It is designed to provide paragraphs
    of speech from a single speaker to allow better investigation of 
    prosody over sentences. 
    The database consist of selected text from 
    Project Gutenberg.  Specifically Aesop's Fables and the CIA
    World Fact Book (2000).  This has been recored by a single US Male
    Speaker, and automatically labeled.
