Yeah, it was like when Emilio Estevez insisted on including the
assassination of Kennedy in his movie "Bobby," or when Spike Lee insisted
on including the Million Man March in "Get On The Bus." Writers have a lot
of nerve using factual events from the past to weave a compelling narrative
in a fictitious story. Come on Dave, this is not a Sorkinism. Your own
reference to "Quantum Leap" serves as proof the concept is a solid one.
Frankly on the "West Wing" it always annoyed me when they made up countries
and world leaders ("Qumar" and "Kundu") when there were so many real world
problems the show could have addressed.
