I have been lurking for the past three week, but feel I must comment on Gene Stavas's superb precis of "Birth of A Nation." Also, as I am sure most of the members of the line know, there is a fine lazer disc recording of "Birth of a Nation" on Lumivision in tints and at the right speed, and with the original musical score. It also has extensive notes on the racial contents of the second part of the film. Jeff Johnson, The College of Charleston
