The Man on the Ten-Dollar Bill (Media Coverage)
Author(s): Nancy Dewolf Smith
Publication: The Wall Street Journal
Date: 5/11/2007
Abstract: There is only so much you can cram into a two-hour documentary, and "Alexander Hamilton" (PBS, Monday 9-11 p.m. ET, but check local listings) is a necessarily potted account of the man often called America's most controversial Founding Father. In this edition of the "American Experience" series, Hamilton's psychology and peccadilloes get plenty of attention. Yet it's his public life and the policies he pushed that are the most interesting. We're still feeling the fallout today. “What’s most fascinating in all this is the inevitable comparison between then and now, and how the war of ideas that began soon after the new nation was established is still very much with us. Only the names and combatants have changed.” — The Wall Street Journal
