->I dunno; I watched it and found pace slo-o-o-o-w and boring, even in

->fast forward control on my VCR several times during the show.  On the
->other hand, this show is clearly aimed at non-scientists, and so I'm

->and 'The Day the Universe Changed'.

Strange. It seemed to me that he was making subtle but interesting
points all through the program. I like 'Connections' and 'TDTUC'
but 'Ring of Truth' was much more subtle and profound.
