Media Alert

As long as we have presidential debates on the mind, I want to mention that there is a TV documentary making the rounds of PBS stations throughout the country about one of the men at the center of the very first presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon -- Newton Minow.  Yes, yes, I know, the occasionally-mentioned father of the oft-mentioned here Nell Minow.

In fact, I wrote about the documentary when it first appeared on his local Chicago PBS station, WTTW, who made the show, "Newton Minow: An American Story," and wrote about it here.  

If you live in the Los Angeles area, the documentary is finally arriving here tonight.  It will air on KOCE at 7:00 PM.   And if you miss it, or live elsewhere, you can watch the whole thing by clicking on the link above, since I was able to embed it in the article.
