>>"Additionally, we never get to see or hear about some of the most important decisions of the crisis, such as Kruschev's two letters to Kennedy and the meetings of the OAS when they decide to back the US."
Did you watch the movie? Both of these events were portrayed in full. There is a great deal made of the two letters sent to Kennedy by Kruschev, and the fact that he only responds to the first. Additionally, there is an entire scene dedicated to the OAS voting on the US action, and the fact that it was unanimous.
Let's get our facts straight before we spout off an opinion.
These are not the big matching funds that most people think of. When you get 5% of the vote in a given election, you are awarded millions for your next campaign. This is what Buchanan, Gore, and Bush have. Unfortunately, this type of equal campaign is not good enough for them, and they try to raise more soft money than their opponent on top of it.
You don't think it's worth giving equal public money to campaigns to avoid this corporate ownership of candidates? Give me a break, that is the only logical way to do it.
>>> While they're answering about Nader's corporate issues, maybe they can explain why he accepted matching funds, thus stealing from all U.S. taxpayers to fund his campaign? >>>
Uhhh, no. This was the bastardly Pat Buchannan of the Reform party. But it sounds like you prefer that candidates should simply raise the money themselves, and the election should go to the highest bidder. For instance, $94 million for George Bush so far. Gore is at about half of that. Nader has accepted just over $1 million, choosing to raise money through speaking events instead.
This is what I noticed as well. Bronson seemed very ahead of his time for someone with a Fine Arts degree. His parallel to network terminals and java were very fun to follow. Although it was far- fetched to think about the true amount of work these ideas would take. But imagining them come to life in the adolescent days of the internet was fun, and this helped clear up a lot of the flatness of which Hemos spoke of. Bronson dealt with a variety of issues, and I think he walked the line of fiction vs. reality pretty well. At least well enough to keep interested someone fairly familiar with the subject matter.

You can hear some of the dialogue between Kennedy and his cabinet members during this crisis at:

They are taken right from the tapes out of the Kennedy library. Really cool stuff.
And for this of course we can give credit to the Beatles and not Mr. Reagan.
