Documenting Hate, An Atomwaffen Member Sketched a Map to Take the Neo-Nazis Down. What Path Officials Took Is a Mystery.

1. Thanks for reminding me. I had thought it didn't come on until 10:00 p.m.

It's also on channel 22, WMPT.

3. This scene with Brando playing Rockwell surprised me when I watched Roots: The Next

Generations a couple years ago. If I'd ever heard he played that part, I had forgotten all about it. I think I only caught a couple episodes when it originally aired.
