    Love the photos from West Point Story, I am a great Cagney fan and it was another example of James Cagney's unbelievable dancing, as was demonstrated in his Oscar winning role in Yankee Doodle Dandy. Of course I have to give a nod to Gordon MacCrae in West Point Story but MacCrae was more noted for his magnum opus Oklahoma. He was great in Carousel but died off too soon in the movie.

    The timeless lyrics to "I Believe" still hold integrity to this very day, and must again become the rallying cry of America out of the crisis that has beset us. We must affirm our faith in Someone far far greater than all of us, Whose hands still hold the unborn tomorrow, and the remainder of what we call the present time. It is time to hold fast our loyalty to Him, and the principles He gave us to live by toward Him. Nothing less will do.

Where the better ground we dreamed about was more corrupted than the street life, we believe was so right. To find out that just a fragment of our imagination, looking for something that never was true in the real life. That the real life have more phonies than the street life, and they play their part better than the street life. So where can a person go to find the land of the free because I know it's not in the land of equal opportunity.
