随着PBS推出纪录片《越南战争》，我们得以回顾那个分裂的年代。对于在那段时间内生活的人来说，这段时期将永远印在他们心中。约翰逊总统在南越将杰出服务十字架授予南越Cam Ranh湾第一中尉。 从1962年到1971年，美国军方在越南森林上喷洒化学试剂——脱叶剂，这种落叶剂是为了将越南长得茂盛的树林，使其变得光秃秃，这样就让北越的军队失去了天然的隐蔽屏障。落叶剂对环境的危害极大。其危害表现一是因大面积植被的破坏而危及该地区整个生态系统，二是这种农药的致畸作用会使人类健康受到严重影响。

n the mid-1960s, Bernard Madoff tapped money from Jewish businessmen at exclusive country clubs with the promise of steady guaranteed returns on their investments. He then set his sights on Europe and Latin America, brokering deals with powerful hedge fund managers and feeder funds from Buenos Aires to Geneva. Billions of dollars were channeled to Madoff’s investment firm, and his feeders became fabulously wealthy. The competition wondered how the man could produce such steady returns in good times and bad. There were allegations that Madoff was “front-running” or operating a Ponzi scheme, which the SEC investigated several times over the last two decades. But Madoff remained untouched until Dec. 11, 2008, when he admitted it was all “one big lie.” FRONTLINE unravels the story behind the world’s first truly global Ponzi scheme — a deception that lasted longer, reached wider and cut deeper than any other business scandal in history.

According to Aristotle, the best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny. They contain reversals of fortune, moments of recognition, and, ultimately, a catharsis. Dr. John Nash's life -- his early brilliance, his struggle with mental illness, and his slow, willful recovery -- is definitely the stuff of Greek tragedy. He describes his experiences, in these excerpts from an in-depth interview.
Randy MacLowry, producer and co-writer of A Brilliant Madness, talks about his experiences making a documentary on John Nash. He shares some of the misconceptions he had about schizophrenia, the challenges of conveying the emotional aspects of Nash's story and the ideas behind a few of the shots in the film.
