i've been watching a bunch of Ken Burns documentary series lately, and I'm struggling to imagine the serious tone of those narrators and historical pieces translating into the future... like when somebody 25-30 years from now tries to make a documentary like that about this time, the actual footage of the president speaking will just look and sound ridiculous. all the speeches of nixon and JFK and johnson seemed professional at least, regardless of your position on vietnam or anything else.
