NEW YORK (AP) - Get Alec Baldwin talking about his miniseries
"Nuremberg" and he has plenty to say about Nazi atrocities. But
however heartfelt his abhorrence of the Holocaust, Baldwin wasn't
drawn to "Nuremberg" by a desire to make a humanitarian statement.
Instead, he liked the dramatic conflict at the film's core: two men
in a duel of beliefs. ("Nuremberg" airs Sunday and Monday at 8 p.m.
ET on TNT.) Baldwin plays Robert Jackson, an associate justice of the
United States Supreme Court who in 1945 was dispatched by President
Truman to the war-ravaged city of Nuremberg, Germany. There, Jackson
would be the lead prosecutor in a trial of 21 members of the Nazi
high command for war crimes committed by the Third Reich. See
