The more things change... I'm watching Inherit the Wind on cable right now. What a great movie. Spencer Tracy and Frederic March both are tremendous. The writing is crisp, the performance, while a bit over the top, fit the content and the era well. The thing that bugs me watching it is how relevant it still is. It ought to be a quaint museum piece. Instead, the same debate is still going on. Here's an article about a small town fighting the same fight. Except that it's 45 years since the movie was made and eighty since the original Scopes Monkey Trial. All that's missing is the townspeople marching through town burning the teacher in effigy. Spencer Tracy says in the movie, "an idea is a greater monument than a cathedral." We could use more of these monuments.  ¶ 10:33 PM
