Drumbeats and Dragnets

World-class Webb. Way out Lott. Plus more.
p> WORLD CLASS WEBB br> Re: Judd Magilnick's The Icon in Winter : /p> p>This is an absolute gem of an article. Beautifully written and profoundly insightful. It should be required reading in any Lit. 101 class and, more importantly, perhaps freshman political science. This is a smacking rebuke of the silliness that is political correctness. Again, beautifully written and a sincere tribute to Jack Webb. I am positive that any remaining friend or family member must be most proud of this very poignant article. br> -- Tom Fitzpatrick /p>

Your piece on Jack Webb moved me to tears. I grew up watching Dragnet and when I joined the Army in 1965 I had a drill sergeant in basic training who was uncannily like Jack Webb's "D.I." Between two tours in Vietnam, college in the 70's, and just living to my present age of 56, I have learned one big truth: Jack was right: the world really is made up of black and white or good and evil. There are good guys and there are bad guys and everything else is unimportant.

p>Thanks! br> -- T.L. Jeffrey /p>
