    Even before the movie was released, Official Reality Consortium wraiths 
    like Dan Rather and Tom Wicker were attacking Oliver Stone for rewriting 
    and inventing history.  In fact, it has been this legion of wraiths that 
    have concocted such "fictions."  Mr. Rather's imaginative interpretation 
    of the Zapruder film was crystalized for all time with his unforgetable 
    statement, "the President's head went forward with considerable force..."
    which he told the world on Saturday, November 23, 1963.  
    Sadly, who remembers history or herstory these days?         --ratitor

   I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes 
   me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . .  Corporations have been 
   enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the 
   money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working 
   upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few
   hands and the Republic is destroyed.

              --- Abraham Lincoln (quoted in Jack London's "The Iron Heel").
