...extermination of European Jewry was not carried out entirely by Germans alone, however, and so the blame must be shared by the Poles, Croats, Ukrainians, French, Italians and many others who had one bone or another to pick with their Jewish neighbors. Each of these societies played eager and willing roles as Nazi accomplices. There are innumerable documented instances of each of the European countries outdoing the shameless acts of their German counterparts in the level of barbarism and cruelty with which they treated the Jewish citizens of their countries. For the countries of the time, it was a question...
...does not take long for Girl 6's friend, Jimmy (Spike Lee), to recognize that her success in the "phone bone" business only hides her real need to achieve her ambition.

But Loveless has a purity, a disdain for emotional compromise, that sets her above the standard ingratiators. Since her early hits (Jealous Bone, I'm That Kind of Girl), her voice and choice of material have matured; she's grown up in public. Another coal miner's daughter, Patty is a cousin of Loretta Lynn's--like about half of the singing South. But her true musical kin is Tammy Wynette, country's calamity queen. Like...
