...lack of media response in the first week of the sit-in. That changed with the visits of high-profile labor leaders and politicians, and a sense on the part of journalists that the occupation was going to last. Soon, the story was everywhere, and Times opinion columnist Bob Herbert dedicated two whole columns to the topic. “Looking at it now, it looks like wall-to-wall media,” says McKean. “But we worked for every inch...

The true stars are the sumptuous-for-TV special effects and the Matrix-esque combat scenes. It's hard to get too earnest about...
