Gone With the Confederacy (21)

A wild week of news culminates in a classic film review, then the craft of art restoration and its place among monuments to a racist past (bye bye, Junipero). Mount Rushmore has its own history worth telling, and you will get that here. (DISCLAIMER: GUTZON BORGLUM, WHO LED THE EFFORT TO SCULPT MOUNT RUSHMORE, WAS IN THE KU KLUX KLAN.)
