Ken Burns reinvented the documentary series 32 years ago with his seminal nine-part series of the American Civil War. In Ken Burns fashion, we learn all we need or want to know about him by hearing an actor recite words directly from Grant’s writings. Charles Lindbergh was a larger-than-life figure in American history, and his historic achievement of flying solo across the Atlantic Ocean captured the imagination of generations of young Americans. Things got even darker when Ken Burns turned his attention toward one of the first “media” priests, Father Charles Coughlin. Paradoxically, at the same time that American gentiles — including Catholics, sadly — held firm to many lies and stereotypes about Jewish people, American Jews were flourishing in academia, the arts, and business.
