Next thursday at 8:00, ABC will be broadcasting a movie called 
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.  It's (nano-review, no spoilers) about a 
heavily armored  aircraft carrier which slips through some sort of 
wormhole and finds itself off the coast of Hawaii in 1941, just 
before the attack on pearl harbor.  The crew has a very difficult 
time deciding whether to interfere with history or let things progress 
naturally. Though it doesn't really explain how they got there or how 
such paradoxes are possible, it's a very good movie.  Just thought 
you'd want to know...
