For those of you who watched the recent historical epic about New York City on PBS, there may not be much to learn from "The Great Game: The Story of Wall Street," a workmanlike documentary about the crucible of modern capitalism airing at 7 tonight on CNBC. Otherwise, it's an interesting two-hour tour, led once again by historian John Steele Gordon, author of a new history of the city's financial district. Gordon also was the chief talking head in the part devoted to Wall Street in PBS' "New York: A Documentary Film." >>>
