Graham never wanted the job but was forced into it when her husband committed suicide. The men around her offered little support, talking through or around her. Defense Secretary McNamara was the last straw, a man she considered a friend betrayed her. Yeah, I liked this movie.Gail, northern Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606476543639979603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-17808437500816361862018-01-28T23:13:43.017+00:002018-01-28T23:13:43.017+00:00I liked that it almost rallied the press groups ag...I liked that it almost rallied the press groups against TrumpJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-50912393948457829442018-01-28T21:12:23.674+00:002018-01-28T21:12:23.674+00:00I did find it compelling.
