The pieces were selected and edited by Nile Southern, writer and son of the Grand Guy, and Josh Alan Friedman, musician, author of the terrific "Tales of Times Square" and a series of venomously funny cartoons, and the son of brilliant novelist Bruce Jay Friedman...

Pearl Harbor thus spends a lot of time with Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett), boyhood pals who grow up to be hot pilots falling in love with the same woman, a Navy nurse named Evelyn Johnson (Kate Beckinsale). Rafe is first in line, but when he goes missing and is presumed dead in the Battle of Britain, Danny, who lands up at Pearl...
