Nestled at the bottom of the world, the continent of Antarctica is a vast expanse of mountains, canyons and freezing desert tundra. Almost twice the size of Australia, Antarctica remains the most inhospitable and least explored region on the surface of the Earth. In the postwar era, growing scientific curiosity about the Antarctic led to the establishment of many semi-permanent bases and installations there. Although international treaties prohibit weapons of war on the continent, the...

It was thousands of years ago that nature began the slow work of creation. Glaciers slashed into the landscape, carving out a small, mountainous piece of land along the coast of what would one day be Maine. That island -- a place of dazzling and unique beauty - would eventually be called Mount Desert. In the early twentieth century, men and women of foresight and dedication began the process of preserving this wonder of nature. Their efforts would culminate in the creation of Acadia National...

Join former NBC News correspondent and A&E "Biography" host Jack Perkins for a guided tour of this remarkable place called...

As U.S. combat operations in South Vietnam expanded in the mid-1960's, the inability of the Saigon government to control large swaths of the countryside, as well as the primacy of the Communist 'shadow government', became major obstacles for American military planners. "This is not primarily a military problem," Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara would say. "It's a battle for the hearts and the minds of the people of South Vietnam." As a part of that effort, the Marines in South Vietnam...

This is a story about the making of a movie. It's the story of a how a sixteen year-old wunderkind talks a scandal-beleaguered corporate sponsor into financing his dream project, a thriller called "High Output" (it's like "The Boston Strangler" meets "My Fair Lady", but without all that pesky singing). It's the story of a lunkheaded lead actor who needs his daily almond fix and can't go without talking to his pet corgi over the phone. It's the story of a deeply damaged producer-for-hire who...

By 1967 the armed forces had produced plenty of documentaries about their operations in Vietnam, and these had usually tried to stay above the fray of domestic political controversies. But not this time, as the film's narration immediately goes for the jugular of the antiwar movement. Devoting equal time to operations by the Navy and Marine Corps, the film attempts to correct public perceptions of the war by showing the good works being performed by the military. From search and rescue...
