New Ken Burns documentary on WWII.
Quoted: Burns said that one of the motivations for the project was hearing, in the late nineties, that something like a thousand veterans of the Second World War were dying every day. That gave him a sense of urgency, without giving him any good ideas.

This used to be my dad's favorite show (other than the U.S. Open) when I was a kid. Was just curious what happened to it!

Rukeyser went on to host Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street on CNBC (cancelled on December 31, 2004 at the request of the show's host himself), which was also distributed to PBS stations. Wall $treet Week with Fortune, which was hosted by Geoff Colvin and former Fox News business correspondent Karen Gibbs, ended its PBS run on June 24, 2005.

Quoted: During the holiday season, several roads in my town were temporarily closed due to flooding. I was naturally worried how the road closures would affect traffic. But in the end, my fears were unfounded. Not only was traffic mostly unaffected, I often found my travel times were reduced!
Quoted: This experience made no sense to me. If traffic is about too many cars on the roads, how could blocking some roads speed my commute? Or conversely, why might adding roads slow my commute?
