BY JACQUELINE CUTLER Giving old words new life "The Address" airs Tuesday on PBS "Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." So begins the exquisite Gettysburg Address, which took President Abraham Lincoln two minutes to deliver. It takes Ken Burns 90 minutes to tell a lovely story about the speech, and it's worth it. "The Address," Burns' latest PBS documentary, airs Tuesday, April 15 (check local listings), and features students at the Greenwood School in Putney, Vt. The boarding school for 50 boys 11 to 17 years old specializes in teaching those with learning disabilities, including dyslexia and dysgraphia. The dedicated staff, though, knows these boys are capable of much, including memorizing the Gettysburg Address. "They asked me as a neighbor to be a judge, and I wept," says Burns, who lives nearby in New Hampshire. "I went back every year." Still, he hadn't planned on a film. "I always just assumed someone else should do a cinema verite," he says. Eventually, he embedded with the school for three months. Burns captures the special beauty of teachers working to prove to the boys that just because they struggled to read and at other schools were told they were dumb, only meant this was more of a challenge. They break down the sentences. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this." select TV 5 April 12 - 18, 2014 The Daily News and North Valley Community Newspapers © Tribune Media Services GOLF SATURDAY 10:30 a.m. (CBS-12) The Road to Au- gusta: Rickie Fowler (HD) 11:00 a.m. (CBS-12) The Big Three at the Masters (HD) 12:00 p.m. (CBS-12) 2014 Masters Tournament Third Round.
