The Stone File
There's a famous line in the movie
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
that goes, "When the legend
becomes fact, print the legend." The
July 29 Roundup (page 8) described
Oliver Stone's career as background
to his anti-Semitic remarks; but
it foolishly mentions only his best
work as if written by his agent.
The most pertinent fact about
Oliver Stone's movies is that they are
fiction — especially JFK, that claims
to be a documentary! His conspiracy
theories in JFK have been repudiated
beyond a doubt by modern forensic
analysis. (The strongest piece of evi-
dence is that by using Doppler anal-
ysis of the multiple recordings of the
gunshots, the computers pinpoint
three and only three shots coming
from the Texas Book Depository
upper floor. All other perceived shots
were echoes.)
Stone's anti-Semitic remarks
have much less significance when
presented in the context of coming
from a once-great filmmaker who
degenerated into making discred-
ited documentaries full of paranoid
delusions.

Classy Kallne
I very much enjoyed reading about
Al Kaline in the article "Golfing For
A Cure" (July 22, page 18). At a time
when it was okay to have sports
heroes, he was my favorite Tiger
until I graduated college in 1970.
A couple of points that were miss-
ing from the article:
1.Not only were the Tigers the
only major league team for which
he played, but because Kaline never
played in the minors, they also were
the only professional team for which
he played; I'm not aware of any other
baseball player who has that distinc-
tion.
2. The man was, and is, a personal
and professional class act, and an
outstanding role model for anyone
— child or adult, sports fan or not.
3. It's not well remembered, but as
the 1968 World Series approached,
there was the real possibility of
Kaline not being in the start-
ing lineup due to the Tigers' very
strong outfield — Willie Horton,
Jim Northrup and Mickey Stanley.
Manager Mayo Smith was deter-
mined to have his Hall of Famer in
the lineup so he made the highly
creative move of putting Stanley

at shortstop (thus removing Ray
Oyler, who never complained) and
getting Kaline into the outfield. He
responded by hitting almost .400 for
the entire Series and getting the key
hit in Game 5 that turned the whole
Series around.
Detroit and the Tigers are fortu-
nate to have such a gifted mentsh
with us for almost 60 years.

Fight Ovarian Cancer
I did know the courageous woman,
Lori Haber Buckfire ("Lori Saw The
Good In People July 29, page 66),
that letter writer Harvey Bronstein
spoke of in "Lori's Inspiration" (Aug.
5, page 8).
Lori was very definitely the woman
that was eulogized at her funeral. I
knew Lori because I am a 10-year
survivor of ovarian cancer and she
was part of our Survivors Teaching
Students program. We are a group
of women who speak to the medical
community to raise awareness and
educate them about the disease so it
can be diagnosed earlier.
Because this disease is insidious,
it is difficult to diagnose; and when
a woman experiences the symptoms,
both the woman and many times her
medical team do not recognize that
ovarian cancer is the culprit.
Our group is ready, willing and
able to present our program to wom-
en's groups. Women need to know
what our survivors had no knowl-
edge of: ovarian cancer.
So many times, I have heard our
women say, "What in the world is
ovarian cancer and why didn't I
know about it?"
So if you would like to host a
program in your home, synagogue
or the JCC, etc., please feel free to
contact me. There is no charge; our
women are outstanding citizens
in your community who want to
help in the fight against this dis-
ease. Contact me at Yasherke@gmail.
com or my co-facilitator, Marcia
Gurche, at mgurche@wowway.com .
September is National Ovarian
Cancer Awareness month; teal is the
color of ovarian cancer. Watch for
activities during the month about
the disease and women who are
wearing teal.
