AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Truman
May 25 & 26 @ 9:00 p.m.
Two-part biography of President Harry S.
Truman. The first part recounts early failures and his
success as an army captain, which led to his vice
presidency. The second part charts his unlikely rise to
the presidency and his leadership during some of the
major crises of the century. Truman would end the war
with Germany; use the atomic bomb against Japan;
confront an expanding Soviet Union; and wage war in
Korea — all while the woman he adored, his wife, Bess,
refused to stay in the White House and play the role of
First Lady. |

Frontline Growing Up Online
Tuesday, May 20 @ 9:00 p.m.
In Growing Up Online, FRONTLINE takes
viewers inside the very public private worlds
that kids are creating online, raising important
questions about how the Internet is transforming
childhood. "The Internet and the digital world
was something that belonged to adults, and now
it's something that really is the province of
teenagers, " says C.J. Pascoe, a postdoctoral
scholar with the University of California,
Berkeley's Digital Youth Research project.
"You have a generation faced with a society with
fundamentally different properties, thanks to
the Internet," says Danah Boyd, a fellow at
Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society.
"It's a question for us of how we teach
ourselves and our children to live in a society
where these properties are fundamentally a way
of life. This is public life today." |
