...Though his visual style was frequently spectacular, the details of Lewis's pre- and post-Hollywood life are decidedly mundane: Born in 1907 in Brooklyn, Lewis initially ventured to Hollywood in the 1920s to become an actor. After his brother Ben, a seasoned editor, encouraged him to go behind the camera, Lewis worked his way up in the industry until he obtained a slot as an editor in the early '30s.

Everything, the various candidates relentlessly insist, is to be done in the name of "our young people" and "our children." And these days, post-Columbine and Eminem, the popular culture seems to have become the principle "enemy-of-the-children," with everyone from Lynne Cheney to our would-be moralist-in-chief, Connecticut Senator Joseph I.
