I agree with all that. Burt was great in that he was one of those actors
who you believed everything he did. There are a couple of relatively
talented people out there, but this crop has no Burt Lancaster, Spencer
Tracey, Marlon Brando or Charlton Heston. There are also no Katherine
Hepburns, Vivien Leighs, Joan Crawfords or Bette Davises. I truly miss the
"Golden Age of Hollywood".

"Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are
merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high
mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When
people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth.
Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been
and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full
agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and
ever will be so..."

Golda Meir once said, "There will never be peace until the
Palestinians love their children more than they hate us."
