The Holocaust has become an integral part of American "infotainment" and political soap operas, with survivors telling their stories on the Jerry Springer Show.
As part of the disillusioned third who have stopped going to the movies (I did luck out recently on a USAirways flight to Philly in seeing "Erin Brokovitch" and Allen's "Small Time Crooks"), I am grateful to Michael Medved for explaining the apparent paradox that the Hollywood which used to be motivated by family grosses now revels in grosser and grosser families.
Boho hubris can only be challenged by such airtight economic analyses. The trouble is some of us have become so wealthy that we're impervious to peer pressure.
