Echoes in Eternity

The City Journal published an excellent piece this week on how Hollywood invented a legend in regards to the gay San Francisco supervisor, Harvey Milk. He was the subject of a recent Oscar-nominated film, and the actor who played him won the Best Actor award. Turns out, it was all a screenwriter's sham. The real Harvey Milk "was a short-tempered demagogue who cynically invented stories of victimhood to advance his political career." He also strongly supported Jim Jones up until Jones poisoned his entire following.
