Swede P:
Thanks, that does clear it up.

Certainly I knew of Lindberg and his flying exploits. I was not familiar with his stand on the war.

I did not know that "blackface" lived on into the TV era. I am familiar with from earlier stage musical variety shows. I think even Al Jolson did some blackface. I know today people are sensitive about it and consider it racist, but I appreciate the cultural history of it in the right context. To see it on TV, however, would also have struck me as being rather off.

So much history in one little metaphor!
