Ken Burns

I have watched some of the documentaries of Ken Burns http://kenburns.com/the-films/ in part or all. I think his filming making is genius. Tonight, I am watching a re-run of The Civil War first aired in 1990. I was shocked when PBS announced it was the 25th anniversary of its first airing. I think of all the things that have intervened in the last 25 years of my life.  But it does not seem possible that it was first aired 25 years ago.  I guess, perhaps, because I have seen it more than once.  And perhaps because the film is timeless.
