Not enough, say Dalbeattieans, who are demanding that Fox clear officer Murdoch's name in the "Titanic" video credits. "Filmgoers all over the world will see him portrayed as a coward," complained school head Linda Kirkwood. Not to mention how bad Fox looks for dishing out what will undoubtedly be seen as a paltry bribe. Will we ever learn from the movies...
