I’ve been watching “World War II in Color.” There’s a ton of footage from the war. I understand that the major powers had access to film gear, but there’s a lot of footage from the smaller resistance movements, too. How easy was it for these groups to get gear, get footage, and pass it along?

Today, a big deal is made about Joe Namath’s guarantee that the Jets would win Super Bowl III. Given the different state of media coverage in 1969, was a big deal actually made of it at the time?

Growing up as an American, you learn about all the major presidents, like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Reagan. However, there’s a whole bunch (Van Buren, Pierce, Arthur) that are almost forgotten. What are some facts and accomplishments of the lesser known presidents?
