"I don't find it to be a three-holie," said John Dean, Nixon's White House counsel and consultant to the movie "Nixon." He added that he thought the film was well documented. But Alexander Haig, Nixon's chief of staff, said "the historical portrayal of events is totally off the wall." Both were interviewed on ABC's ur "This Week with David Brinkley." Haig and other critics have complained that the movie unfairly depicts Nixon as involved in an assassination attempt on Cuban leader Fidel Castro and in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Dean said the movie simply raises questions, but Haig disagreed and complained, "This is a terrible distortion." Dean and Haig also clashed over whether people might come away from the movie believing everything they saw was true, as some critics have suggested. "When people looked at 'Schindler's List', when they look at 'Apollo 13', they don't seem to ask these questions," Dean said. "I think because Oliver Stone is such an effective political film maker, that these questions all get asked. ... I'm one who goes to the movie theater and I do not think I'm seeing history on the screen. I think I am seeing a theatrical story." But Haig said he worried that Stone "projects something to America's youth who will see a very good film and be inclined to take it as on face value." i i WMirwaii in Hiiiiimiw mini mi iib PRICE GOOD DEC. 26th TO DEC. 30th REMAINING aii Smiet 225-309B For Oitr 15 Yrtrt 3 506 East 800 South.

(AP) Police arrested two suspects Sunday in a mall shooting that killed one person, wounded two and sent crowds of Christmas shoppers fleeing. Gabriel Cannon, 23, and his cousin Terrance Teagle. 18, were found at Cannon's home in Norfolk, Va., about 85 miles to the south. They were arrested on murder and attempted murder charges about 12 hours after Saturday night's shooting at the Centre at Salisbury, and face fugitive charges. The shooting appeared to be in retaliation for a fight last summer between Cannon and 2 year-old Roy Davis, who was fatally shot, police Capt. Elton Harrington said. I9 ; |
