What if Teddy Roosevelt had outlawed the new American sport of football as he threatened to do in 1906. What if IBM hadn't asked Bill Gates and Microsoft to write computer code for its first personal computer?Decisions were made. The rules were set. The battles were won. But there was always the possibility of another outcome. Almost America unravels the threads of our nations history -- from the Puritan preachers of the 1970's to the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton -- and takes you to America ( or Americas) that might have been.
