...people protesting the war. He was on the anti-Vietnam war list. He would be protesting this violation of constitutional rights. Third, his last mission was to build a working poor people's campaign, declaring that there should be a job and income for every American, a floor beneath which no American would fall. So I'm convinced that today he would be focusing on this issue of building multiracial, multicultural coalitions, fighting to end the war in Iraq, challenging the unconstitutional moves...

Later, they spend hours talking about everything they've seen. Says Melinda: "That's a huge side benefit. We love doing this together...
...magician of stop-motion animation brought fantasy to terrifying life. This pack of three 1950s monster films shows his no-budget brilliance: to save money, he gave the giant octopus in It Came from Beneath the Sea just six arms. He destroyed D.C. in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers and created the Ymir, a sulfurous Venusian, in 20 Million Miles to Earth. All his beasties, hand-crafted and photographed one frame at a time, had the power and grandeur of the original Kong...
