Last thoughts. As we today bemoan "Hollywood", as exemplified by Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, and countless others, it's almost hard to believe that not too long ago, there was time when the motion picture industry represented all that was good about this country.
Again, we are on the same wavelength. I tuned into Turner Classics several times this weekend, and came away with the same impression about how much this country has changed (IMO, mostly as a reaction to Vietnam, Watergate and Iraninian Hostage debacle). The thought occured to me, wouldn't it be an interesting contrast to compare one day's news coverage from 1944 from Time, NY Times, UPI vs. today?

Run Silent, Run Deep
