Yet another exemplary piece, Mr. DiEugenio, no great surprise considering the credible source. Thank You for caring enough to set the record straight.
How anyone can make a definitive movie about 1968 without fully examining the deep, lasting impact to this very day of the lost legacies of Dr. King and Senator Robert F. Kennedy is a sham....
What good was orbiting the moon, while young men were being slaughtered at an alarming rate in the jungles of faraway lands amid a rich man's war; what good was orbiting the moon when poor people (especially families & children barely surviving in deplorable conditions in Appalachia), were existing on the bare minimum, experiencing a "quality" of life lacking the basic necessities of life; and, what good was orbiting the moon, when seniors nearing their "golden years" found themselves amid harsh realities of challenging struggles just to make ends meet? Not in Bobby Kennedy's America.
A genuine examination of 1968 would require some serious soul-searching, and more than an admission that the country is in denial about what really matters in a free, open democratic Republic. We are left only to imagine what kind of nation America could have become ---->

Tom Hanks can orbit the moon amid his tunnel-vision, but it takes real courage to come back down to earth, roll up one's sleeves and address real issues without a self-serving agenda.
