Things are changing. Three years ago the New York Theatre Workshop hit a roadblock when it wanted to produce the late Rachel Corrie's own words, in My Name Is Rachel Corrie.
Tomorrow night the Tribeca Film Festival shows a movie about her by the European director Simone Bitton, with a hat tip to the International Solidarity Movement, of which brave Rachel Corrie was a member, and no one's going crazy. Co-presented by Human Rights Watch. Apparently the Corries will be there. Of "Rachel":
Director Simone Bitton aligns her filmmaking methodology with the International Solidarity Movement's
guidelines to state only objective and concrete details without placing
judgment. Balancing interviews with the Israeli Defense Force's current
and former personnel and the participants and leaders in the ISM,
Bitton examines the circumstances surrounding the unresolved case of
Corrie's death.
Is this part of Brian Baird's commitment to Gaza? Because he lost a constituent to this madness?

Just my browser — it hangs — and then comes up in the title bar — not responding — whereby I have to close down the window — get the usual do you want to send an MS report error dialog box — and then I start all over again. It's ok for a few of refreshes and going into comments etc and then hangs… it's weird… I'm using bog standard Internet Explorer 7 — it was working fine before Saturday… just problems with this site…. Is there are some kind of diagnosic test in windows to see what the problem might be? thx
In Start Menu/Programs/Accessories (or StartMenu/Programs/Accessories/System) there should be "Internet Explorer (no add-ons)" – try that first.
Otherwise try Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera. I know this might be a pain in the ass but some of these blogging templates seem to have issues with some browsers and their local configuration.
If you must use IE than you could try updating to IE8.
another option in IE : open Internet Options , Advanced Tab.
Here you can reset all Advanced options. The option below that "Reset Internet Explorer setting" might help too, BUT fefore you do click the (?)Help at the top of that window to see what you are getting into
Will do … thx again!… I can download firefox if all else fails.
I updated yesterday to Firefox version 3.0.09, which resolved the problem I was having posting comments. Firefox today updated to 3.0.10.
I saw the film at Tribeca – it was excellent – and posted about it on my blog, "Lefter, Warmer" where I also linked to you on the "Defamation" documentary.
