Nature - “Dogs That Changed the World: The Rise of the Dog”. How’s this for awesome: they’re going to use DNA analysis and other research methods to figure out how wolves became dogs and how there then became so many different breeds of dogs. Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog.

American Experience – "Oswald's Ghost". According to the description of this show the assassination of President Kennedy left a "psychic wound" on this nation.
