Your profile of "20th Century" does not ring true. It was long off the air when Robert Kenedy and Dr. King were assassinated. It also was gone when JFK was assassinated as well. While a truly remarkable program, featuring a remarkable man as host, your comments fail in valuing its place in TV history, and its general import to our history and culture. Walter Cronkite's contribution to our country is an outstanding one. Beginning as a war correspondent during WW11 through his reportage of our post war history, his contribution is exemplary. I can still see his face and hear his words when he reported JFK"s assassination, and Armstrong's walk on the moon. His television journalism is the standard by which all others should be measured.

Great movie from a great novel of the same name. Douglas, Lancaster, March,,,on and on and on. Super script, just right for the cold war. Douglas/Gardner scenes seem a little out of place, a little stiff, not really needed to move the plot. Must see. Anti-missile treaty protesters assail the President's(March) attempt at rapprochement with the Soviets. Their anger goes all the way to the very top in the Pentagon who plan to take matters into their own hand. The only thing in their way are two men a loyal Marine Colonel(Douglas), and a determined President. The fall of the U.S. and the Free World nearly comes about, as politicians, and the military wrestle over the hearts, minds, and control of the American people.
