Documentary doesn't follow 'Protocol'

By Josh Kramer | November 10

Sometimes even intellectually stimulating subject matter can't help a bad documentary. "Protocols of Zion," a movie by Mark Levin about anti-Semitism after September 11, lacks the focus and objectivism it needs to make it a good film, although Levin presents a great deal of interesting information in the movie.

Letters to the editor

November 10

When thinking of the founding fathers, perhaps Haun forgot that George Washington was a Deist and actually refused to see a priest on his deathbed.
