Frontline, the best program on television* has an outstanding website. You can watch complete episodes of Frontline online, including some of the best programs they have recently broadcast. “Bigger than Enron”, “The Other Drug War”, and “The Jesus Factor” are a few of my recent favorites. Be warned, though: Frontline is the most rage provoking television series I know. It will make you furious.

I had been troubled by a recent eBay transaction. I won an auction for Strauss’ opera Capriccio, which the seller listed as “New” and “Sealed”. I expected new and sealed. It arrived and was opened, and slightly damaged. I wrote to them and at last this afternoon I received a reply to my emails, and, it turns out they have dispatched a brand new copy, and are sending a postage paid envelope for the defect copy. That’s as much as I could have asked for. I’ll follow up here with details, but it looks as though this seller is a good one. I have had one transaction with them before, and it went perfectly, so I have confidence.

*Arrested Development is the best comedy. Frontline is best all-around.
