The debate over “Fahrenheit 9/11” continues! Commentaries can be found on Wendy’s blog and Val’s blog. (see the links on the sidebar) I am also attaching a link from Denis Hamill’s article from today’s Daily News.

The North Vietnamese viewed it through the prism of a civil war. Now that McNamara is in his 80s, he is able to speak openly about his regrets and it is refreshing to hear a policymaker admit that they even have any regrets!

There is a new 17-year old tennis talent from Russia named Maria Sharapova. Today she won her quarterfinal match at Wimbledon and is now in the semifinals where she will meet Lindsay Davenport.

Let’s hope that, unlike Kournikova, the fame won’t go to her head and she can concentrate on her tennis.
