...President Ford," he announced when the phone rang, "and I just want to say I never took a dime." Honest John is in the midst of a fight against deportation. "I don't know what will happen," said the man who is becoming one of America's longest-playing imports. "People read in the paper that I've got 30 days left, and then they see me and say, 'Why, are you still here?' I guess my lawyer keeps appealing, and it keeps going on and on."

Attorney Vincent Bugliosi was chief prosecutor at the 9½-month Tate-LaBianca trial-the longest murder trial in California history.

...real historical value of films lies in its use as primary source material. A film like The Longest Day is only vaguely interesting for what it tells us about military maneuvers during the D-Day invasion. However, if one watched the film to figure out what made an American audience, one generation later, clamor to see such a long, detailed re-enactment of a World War II operation, the film becomes a much more interesting social document. It teaches us about...
