PBS Series Premiere dates: Monday and Tuesday, May 5 and 6 at 9pm (check local listings).
How do you end a war? Can the President abuse his power? When is it OK to lie? As a pivotal presidential election approaches, PBS's AMERICAN EXPERIENCE looks to the leadership of our past to examine these and other tough and timely questions. Check out www.pbs.org/presidents/2008 for a look at how seven 20th-century American presidents have faced the same issues and ideas that candidates are wrestling with today.
On May 5 and 6, tune-in to your local PBS station for the premiere of the latest presidential portrait in the series, a 2-part examination of George H.W. Bush.
