GORMAN
ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, JAN. 25-27--Miss America Margaret Gorman is shown Sept. 6, 1922, in Atlantic City, N.J. "Miss America," a documentary airing this month on PBS that weaves newsreel footage, period music and thoughtful analysis into a lively two-hour meditation on beauty, symbolism and 20th-century American women, answers many questions about the long running pageant and its meaning. Refreshingly evenhanded, the film tackles the pageant's intersection with race, sex and women's liberation, among other things, without sinking into gratuitous pageant-bashing. The film, which was entered in the documentary category of this year's Sundance Film Festival, airs Sunday, Jan. 27 (9 p.m. EST), as part of PBS' "American Experience" series.
