1. The first and only movie I ever paid twice to see in the theater . . .
Watched it, then went back the next weekend to see it again. I was a journalist at the time. It illuminated much of what was going on and contributed to my leaving the field. Between it and the travesty the press made of Oliver Sipple's life I was convinced I wanted nothing to do with journalism. Events since have borne out and reinforced my disgust and the fears I felt, there in the shadow of Watergate when journalism stood at the brink of meaningfulness or the precipice of irrelevancy. . . just before it stepped off.
