Web Site Review

The American President <http://www.americanpresident.org/home6.htm>. Co-produced by Kunhardt Productions and Thirteen/WNET in New York; series and educational outreach Web site sponsored by the New York Life Insurance Company. Reviewed March 11–18, 2002.

Just as the historical profession has essentially weaned itself from the presidential synthesis, PBS has been actively promoting presidential historians and presenting presidential documentaries, from episodes of American Experience to The American President. The latter ten-part series, first aired in April 2000, featured narration by Hugh Sidey and commentary by Richard Neustadt, along with such celebrity narrators as Tim Russert as Millard Fillmore, Andrew Young as Thomas Jefferson, Bob Dole as Herbert Hoover, Dan Rostenkowski as Chester Arthur, and, yes, Don Imus as Andrew Johnson. 1

The American President is the TV series' eponymous Web site. Designed for educational outreach, in coordination with the National Council for the Social Studies, the site promises to provide teachers and students "with exciting tools and resources" that will "make learning about the presidency interactive and fun." To a considerable degree, it accomplishes those objectives with information that is abundant, accurate, and well illustrated. . . .
