Dear Rick, it was only part one. More and a conclusion are coming. These reviews that people are giving here are really sodden. It is really quite spiritual to view relatively. Wait for the conclusion before you judge it on the road. Context is everything. I was traveling and just happened to catch it. Was a good review of how pervasive was the problem both before and during prohibition. It has yet to be seen how the comparison will be made with the dull and anti-spiritual drug-taking self-medicated ( ie, small 's' ) now. It will be interesting to see how he accommodates the drug-taking present in his conclusion. I'm with the old lady from Maine in the show. It's about quality of culture and spiritual life. With Warm Regards, =Buck in FF
