        The movie they saw, Secret of the Incas, is said to be what Raiders of the Lost Ark was based on. (Incas was only 27 years before Raiders. We're now 36 years since Raiders. Ouch.)

        I think including “I’ll be Home for Christmas” in the program was a little cruel.

        Alcatraz is a very intense national park to visit.
