Thank you SOOOOO much for posting this. It's brings back wonderful memories since I looked forward to this show every Saturday afternoon. I really wish they would issue this revival on DVD. I know two sets from the 1950s version was released about seven years ago. My favorite in the revival was Colleen Dewhurst as Susan B. Anthony. Do you have anymore clips from this series that you could post?

@brithgob We had the original nazi germany one in school
I didn't know there was a revival of this show (with Bob Schieffer as a correspondent!) I only recall seeing an episode of the original in high school physics class (I think it was about Galilleo).
So was this shown on television, or just distributed to schools?

It was shown on television in 1971 for two year. The first year it was on Saturdays, then it moved to Sundays for a year of reruns. I saw the Alamo episode in junior high in my history class.
