FRONTLINE: Cheney’s Law

NOVA Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial
Full episode online.
From Peabody site: “The centerpiece of this thoughtful, topical edition of NOVA was the recreation, verbatim, of key testimony and argument from a six-week trial in Pennsylvania that served as a crash course in modern evolutionary theory, the evidence for evolution and the nature of science.”
