B

Phil's hosting has improved in the couple years since the previous episodes and this feels overall more balanced, politically and otherwise.  "Hanoi Jane" would still be controversial 45 years later, but even the woman in the studio audience who thinks that the Communists are going to take over the world recognizes that Fonda is earnest and sincere.  Jane also looks impossibly young at 35 and she does come across as naive, although many of her points, particularly about Nixon, are valid.  (She references Watergate and gets little response.)  This is the 500th B I've given to a TV show.
