...surprisingly, the earliest, least familiar years of the century yield up the most piquant material. Billy Wilder recalls learning of the outbreak of World War I when his father ordered the afternoon entertainment in an East European coffee house to stop: "There will be no more music today. The Archduke Ferdinand has been just assassinated in Sarajevo." Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop describes getting a glimpse of Charles Lindbergh as he paraded up New York City's Fifth Avenue. The closer the series gets to present day, however, the more it overlaps with a hoard of other TV nostalgia...
...months culminating in the replacement last week of his national campaign manager. Harkin, the most combative and liberal of the group, is expected to attack the centrist Clinton, whom Harkin views as his main rival in the coming months. Neither of the other two candidates, Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder and former California Governor Jerry Brown, appears to be gaining much traction in what looks to be one of the most fluid primary-season openers in recent memory...

...presidential race, but he's still a spoiler. As the early campaign takes shape, Jackson is clinging tenaciously to his bargaining power. He has told his political cadre to remain uncommitted and to forget about shifting support to any of the active candidates, most notably DOUG WILDER. When the Virginia Governor approaches African-American activists for help, many have said, "Jesse told us to hold off." Wilder has managed to lure a few seasoned Jackson advisers into his camp, along with some low-level organizers and contributors. But he is still too much of a long shot to snag them...
