Now that 12 of the 13 episodes have been aired, I would like to say that
the series as a whole has been quite well balanced.  One particular episode
(evidently the one that prompted the above comment) was entitled "America's
Enemy" -- a look at the war from the North Vietnamese point of view.  Anyone
who saw ONLY that episode and who was not paying attention to the stated
purpose of that week's program might conclude that the whole series is
biased.  He would be wrong.
