Special Showing Shut Down?
Out in California a special showing of the 1970 movie Tora, Tora, Tora, which had been scheduled for Dec. 7, has been canceled and veterans groups smell political correctness. The showing was set for a World War II era theater in the town of San Pedro, and the film was selected because the joint U.S.-Japanese production is considered historically accurate. But Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn decided that showing it would have been insensitive. "Dec. 7," she said, "is a tough day, especially for second and third generations of Japanese Americans. Why do we want to do something that makes it more difficult?"
