"The Dictator's Playbook," Wednesday night, 10:00 p.m., on WETA

That's DC-area channel 26.1 for you over-the-air types. It's all about what Hitler learned from Mussolini.

Check your local PBS station's website for air times.

Hmmmm. There's something about that strutting, preening martinet Mussolini, with his jutting chin and his chest stuck out.

He reminds me of someone. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's on the tip of my tongue....
