It was great.

Sure I remember these. Christopher Glenn in fact, who narrated them for years, died today at 68. Easily one of the great memories of my Saturday Morning-mispent youth. I can remember seeing things about Watergate, Vietnam, the Energy Crunch, Iran, the Bicentennial, etc on this show. Really liked that weird globe and the music that went with it too.

So sure, I'm sorry to hear that Glenn died, and I fondly remember this segment.

**Groans** Oh great, we need ten lines to pad this out. Okay fine guys. That's ludicrous. I think that they should have more little segments like this.
