Dear Film, History, and George Washington fans... A&E broadcast THE CROSSING a number of times last year. This film portrayed the stresses and strains of leadership as experienced by George Washington during a narrow sliver of' history, the crossing of the Delaware River and the raid on the Hessians in Princeton--and then the tactical withdrawal from that raid. The underlying theme of the film was "character," that Washington demonstrated the depth of character which would make him such a splendid leader in the office of the Presidency. Is there someone out there who has written an essay on THE CROSSING. I would very much like to hear from such an author as soon as possible!! (Time is a real factor.) Peter C.
