 FACT: In one episode an observation was made about the Presidential  Seal during war time. The Presidential Seal, has a shield bearing  bald eagle clutching olive branches in its right talons and arrows  in its left. The eagles head is turned toward the olive branches.  The show mentions that in times of war, the Presidential Seals are  replaced with an eagle whose head is turned toward the arrows. This  is not true at all. Prior to 1945, the eagle on the Presidential  seal pointed to its left, and the arrows. In 1945 it was redesigned  to point to its right and the olive branch. The reasoning for the  change was that in heraldry, left pointing items were considered  dishonorable. In order to "sell" the new seal to the general public,  the press release stated that in the time of peace following WWII  the eagle would now point to the olive branch of peace.
