...David Straus: On the one hand, we can?t tell people not to worry, that there?s absolutely no anthrax out there, because we don?t have that guarantee. On the other hand, the average citizen shouldn?t be overly concerned about opening their mail...
...grown up as an American, learned my country's history. But birth and knowledge alone do not a citizen make. It often takes some great communal happening to make one feel truly connected to one's heritage and place. Every now and then an event marks the time for us with striking clarity.

The American Film Institute named Citizen Kane the number one American Film of all time, and it has long (but deservedly) been the darling of cinema’s intelligentsia. This relatively no frill treatment has restored the picture to an almost resplendent shine. Press photos, original trailers, advertising campaigns and storyboards abound, but the true treat is the audio...
