It’s looking like a light posting day, partly because I’m on a deadline, partly because Good EidFridayPurim has made this a Bring the Tuned In Jrs. to Work Day. In the meantime, I invite you to entertain yourselves by reading something you already read here, if you were interested in the first place! My TV column this week ran in longer version here as a preview of John Adams; the cut-down piece in the magazine focuses more specifically on how the ideas in the miniseries—especially the differences between Adams and Thomas Jefferson—prefigured debates America would have over the next 200 or so years.
John Adams: he’s a workhorse, not a show horse!
