They want to expunge the two most controversial items: discussions of reparations for slavery and colonialism, and of Zionism as racism. Washington has warned that if those topics are still on the agenda come conference time...

The truth is somewhat different: Milk was an engaging if slightly goofy pol whose defining moment to most San Franciscans was his televised illustration of how to obey the pooper-scooper law. While the Milk legend may not be justified, Korie does use it to create a narrative that pulls the listener along...
