James went upstairs to work on a model and I slipped the first of the Alistair Cooke's America DVDs in to check out. The picture is quite lovely...listening to Alistair Cooke makes me happy.

The first episode in the British set is "The First Impact," where Cooke talks about the different things that attracted him about the United States so that he made his home here. (When the series was shown here, "Impact" was shown next-to-last.) It gave me a jolt when the episode opened with a pan of New York City and it showed the World Trade Center—Tower 2 was still under construction when they filmed it.

And in the next scene he's in New Orleans...
