Robin Hood

(Nathan M Rose) 2/19/2019 9:16 AM EST
Robin Hood. The name invokes different images and different stories depending on who you ask. Either it's the Earl Flynn Robin Hood, the Disney cartoon, the comedy spoof by Mel Brook, The 1991 Kevin Coster melodrama with the best portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham ever, or the 2010 Russel Crowe take on the classic tale. Then in 2018, to help br... Read More

There was always an unwritten rule in Washington, D.C. that when it came to philandering politicians the media looked the other way. John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B.
