I didn't realize PBS had courses on tv that long ago. Am I wrong here? Has PBS been around that long really?

My thoughts exactly.

How old did Edwards say he was when this was happening? He was born in 1953, and PBS wasn't around until 1969, so he was approaching adulthood.

He probably should have helped his dad with the math.

Lehrer's television network, PBS, was tarnished in 1999 for sharing their donor lists with the Democratic National Committee. As a result, the President of PBS was forced to resign.

George Stephanopoulos , aide of former President Bill Clinton, revealed that Clinton's staff was thrilled to have Lehrer as the moderator in 1996 versus Bob Dole, saying "our moderator" had been picked.

Thanks for the link. I think it will be amusing to find out if Edwards was being a typical attorney and politician, and 'stretching' the truth there!
