For those of you stateside, I might recommend checking out Ten Days on the History Channel next week. They cover ten nasty, formative moments in US history. Antietam, Scopes Trial, Letter from Einstein, and the Day of Freedom being the ones I'd most like to see, all of them seem very interesting. (Hint: if you want to watch the online videos, try clicking on "click to play" twice and you should skip over that gawd-awful Mastercard fratboy shtick.)
