Today’s videos: The Panama Canal; Iran-Contra

In honor of President’s Day, this week’s poll asks which U.S. president has been the most influential in Latin American affairs. On Tuesday we looked at the Cuban Missile Crisis which took place during the term of John F. Kennedy. Today we link to two videos; the first looks at Teddy Roosevelt and the Panama Canal.

The second video is apparently from British TV and examines the Iran-Contra affair under the administration of Ronald Reagan.
