It's a memory that's still very close to the surface, even after more than three decades, a memory that can be triggered by a single word: Munich

"...In the early afternoon, I stopped at a cafe for a cup of coffee and noticed a man at the next table holding a French newspaper with a huge headline that said "MORT!" and a photograph of what looked like bodies lying in the Olympic village. I rushed outside and bought my own copy of the newspaper. But my knowledge of French was minimal, and I still was confused about exactly what had happened."

Spielberg's 'Munich' skims facts


Director Steven Spielberg's portrayal of the events in "Munich" ("A hunt for terrorists -- without heroes or evildoers," Dec. 23) whitewashes the Palestinian terrorists' genocidal goal of eliminating the state of Israel and unfairly impugns the integrity of Israel's efforts to protect its citizens.
