One of the most interesting features of any Apple TV channel is, IMO, in the ABC News channel: their “This Week in History” section, archives of significant news stories from that week as originally broadcast by ABC. For example, there’s a (newsreel) story on the Hindenburg disaster from 1937, and Peter Jennings reporting on Gary Hart dropping out of the 1988 presidential campaign.

It’s interesting stuff.

Gary Hart’s big quote was “Blond have good looks - tryin’ to get me hooked. […] No need for me to complain - my objection’s overruled, ahh! […] Don’t want your botheration, get away, leave me!”
