Taking a cue from TV executives, the University of Montana's history department made a three-credit hit out of "Roots: American Genealogy and Immigration"?a success story they hope to duplicate with another made-for-college spinoff: a three-credit course covering Nazi Germany. "We capitalized blatantly on Roots," confesses Montana History Chairman Dr. Harry Fritz. "Now we are trying to capitalize on the Holocaust TV show...
