Cool show on HBO right now: The Road to War; LBJ, Wallace, McNamara

Alec Baldwin plays McNamara. They just showed LBJ's speech for the Voting Rights Act, "We shall overcome." We know what's coming, re Vietnam, but this is well done. Worth a look.

1. On edit: The Path to War

This is a great movie, on now, 3 p.m. EST on Thursday. I am stunned. One I will buy and keep for sure. Check it if you can. I am old enough to remember, and to have read extensively. This is brilliant. Directed by John Frankenheimer, by the way.
