It was shown "PBS style", with commercials before and after, and with
Spielberg giving an opening and closing bookend.  As near as I could
tell, it was uncut.  There were some (2?) intermissions with the Ford
logo.  As far as commercial TV goes, it was definitely a class act.

Didn't know about that Ford history, but I guess it should not be
a surprise.  I had heard that "Lucky Lindy" was very pro-German
as well, and somewhat the embarassment after WWII started.  Did
any of these guys rethink their positions after the revelation
of the holocaust?  Seems like there would have been a lot of soul
searching, or was there a massive case of denial?

Regards,
Brett
