[lbo-talk] Oliver Stone's first episode

[Eleutherios]

I haven't seen much of Stone's series yet, but based on reviews I will 
view it all. Gore Vidal details a history similar to what has been 
described, especially regarding Henry Wallace, Truman, Stalin, and usage 
of the bomb. Paul Jay of The Real News Network did a lengthy interview. 
The Pirate Bay still only has the first episode of the Stone 
mini-series, another torrent site may have others. I'm sure they'll all 
be available in time.
