Thank you Steven Froias for "Revisiting Laramie" in this week's TCN. Steven refutes one of Tommy DeSeno's columns from months ago disputing the truth depicted by "The Laramie Project." The same assertions were made by Bill Dobbs in Sunday's AP Press article "From Life to Stage": And staff writer Van Benthuysen indulges him: "The town of Laramie felt beaten up by the news coverage," Dobbs said."People felt coverage of the murder and depiction related of their town by the media was unfair."
"The Laramie Project" gave something priceless back to them redemption but it did it in such a simple-minded way, he said. [sic] APP.COM - FROM LIFE TO THE STAGE | Asbury Park Press Online <http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200771104007> Those points of view don't indicate an understanding which Froias points out: Art reveals greater truths than a trial can. And Steven dismisses some of their points with a apt analogy to the six million Jews and the five million others murdered during the Holocaust. The column also includes an interesting long list of politicians who were to attend last Thursday performance after their press conference. ============================= "It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there." - William Carlos Williams <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyParkGLH/database?query=destefano&me\ thod=reportRows&tbl=3>
