Description: Something for nothing: Relates that something impossible happened 400 years ago , and how we wound up in outer space, thanks (en route) to pigeon lovers, the Pope, and electric Italian frogs. Echoes of the past: Burke takes us to the Buddhist tea ceremony, ties it to international spies and Lincoln's assassination. Photo finish: The Le Mans 24-hour race is used as the backdrop for linking photography and bullets, relativity and blimps. Separate ways: Two trails split over slavery in the 18th century. One leads to the Wild West and Brooklyn Bridge, the other coining money and TV.  Both end with a threat to peace.
