    Stone's "JFK"

    I never miss a chance to point out how egregious it was for Stone to make a hero out of New Orleans DA Jim Garrison, who at the time of the events was known as a cynical snake-oil salesman, a mountebank, untrustworthy, pathologically ambitious and an over-all slime. Yet probably most people under 40 (or is it under 50) have derived all of their "knowledge" of the assassation from Stone's movie, undeniably entertaining (but so is the original "War of the Worlds").
