Whoever first said, âThe apple doesnât fall far from the treeâ never took a good hard look at the offspring of many American political figures. Recent allegations from several women that Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York sexually harassed them are so out of synch with the public image of his late and respected father, Governor Mario Cuomo, that â if the allegations are true â show the governor from the Big Apple falling into a totally different orchard.

The Trial of the Chicago 7
Aaron Sorkin s film dramatizes one of the most unusual trials in the nation s history. Apr 19, 2021
The comparisons between America in 1968 and America in the past 12 months are easily drawn: mass protests, brutal clashes with police, calls for racial equity, a contentious presidential election, and a general feeling that the soul of the nation is at stake. With the past feeling less and less distant, the release of Aaron Sorkin s
