Every day we make decisions. Some are simple - Rocky Road or Cherry Garcia, bus or walk, umbrella or not. Some decisions are considerably more complex - accept or reject a proposal of marriage, live where you are or move. And some decisions change the world. In this program, Burt takes viewers to Paris, the Basque country of Spain, San Francisco, California, Washington, D.C. and New York City to research the decisions that resulted in the Atomic Bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, a painting that showed the world that Franco and Hitler had teamed-up to murder the people of Guernica, and how, in the middle of the San Francisco earthquake, the Bank of America got started. Burt also talks to Bob Dilenschneider, a communications expert, about how you can make your most effective decisions.
