PBS has Ken Burns' 1st part online: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365297239/

Over last night and this morning, I'm watching it.  Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Ken Burns is great. Pillows and Blankets was his best work imo.

Check out his documentary on boxer Jack Johnson: "Unforgivable Blackness". Johnson was Ali (in many ways) long before Ali.
