In the real world, I TiVo'd Nuremberg and thought it was interesting; then I watched the History Channel documentary (which I think was probably a BBC documentary at some point) and felt cheated by the miniseries. IMHO the whole production glossed over the USSR's complicity in WWII, and Goering gets sympathy from one of the guards (some Southern lieutenant named "Tex") by Commie-baiting (I guess since Goering was vehemenantly anti-Communist, that means that all anti-Communists are bad or something). OTOH Jackson was the only justice of the time to have the balls to stand up for free speech (and was IIRC a dissenter in the Japanese internment cases), and that didn't get played up either. A lot of the time I felt like I was getting lectured to (us Americans and our lack of historical perspective, nach). Overall, maybe I'm reading too much into the show ;-). And at least Alec Baldwin's chest toupee didn't make an appearance.
Nothing much else of excitement to report. Being unemployed (until August 21, when I get to teach Introduction to American National Government to impressionable undergrads) has its perks...
