The 80-minute show is basically a thumbnail history of the United States, with Wayne tracing the development of the nation with the show's centerpiece, a single, giant set: a soundstage-size map of the continental United States. Like a mammoth jigsaw puzzle, new states are added one-by-one and, when Wayne gets to the Civil War, the whole thing splits in two with the force of a volcanic eruption.

He was a master class in cerebral eloquence and audience command...and although his dominant playing card in the realm of acting was quite serious and stately, nobody cut a more delightfully dry edge in sitcoms than this gentleman, whose calm yet blistering put-downs often eluded his lesser victims. For many years he and actor Anthony Zerbe toured the U.S. with their presentation of "Behind the Broken Words", an evening of poetry and dramatic readings. His trademark baritone lent authority and
