1. Ken Burns could do a program about the Yellow Pages and it would be interesting.

7. So true! If you like Burns' longtime colleage, awarded historian-author *GEOFFREY WARD

who appears in "The Roosevelts" see Post #6 below. Inside the LINK I did a Post on *WARD, #3., a very interesting and accomplished professional. (I do not know how to transfer Post Links, only OP Links-).

2. I'd really like to watch that, but don't want to start at Part 3.

I wonder if one can catch the first two episodes somehow.

11. Yes but Unlike Most PBS series only for 7-10 days

I'm a history buff and seen the entire series numerous times.

Last Nite they still had Parts 1 and 2

They also have the Presidents series which runs pretty much continuously and is about a 4-5 hour series that focuses solely on FDR.

Great series-but surprisingly I think the LBJ series in the Presidents is by far the most interesting and compelling of the Presidents series. The Highs/the Lows, the historical Successes and the destruction of his administration, the Great Man and the Great SOB. For some reason I don't think the JFK story is near as interesting-which is surprising. Highly recommend LBJ

8. See Post #6. Link if you like Burns' longtime colleague, historian-author *GEOFFREY WARD.

I did a post on him from the same OP in "Politics 2015" and transferred it here. *WARD is very interesting.

15. Watching, layers & layers of complexity & deception by multiples are still so troubling-

Those characters, criminals and times-
