Thanks. There have been some other news magazines doing similar shows, but Frontline will no doubt do this better--more seriously, less sensationally.

OK, that is a random and interesting detail!
The show wasn't on here yet. I think it will be on next week. Is it something they've run before, like in the fall, or is it new?
