Those of you who get HBO, this month they are running a made-for-network-tv movie called SKOKIE. If you haven't seen it, it is one of the best films you will see this year. Of course, I have a particular predilection for films about philosophical conflict in which the answers are not predigested for you. SKOKIE is a film about two groups of people, both of whom are absolutely right, who are nonetheless in conflict with each other. One group is the Jewish community of Skokie, Ill.; the other is the ACLU. (I didn't want you to think I was saying the Nazis were right.) This film is well-acted and totally engrossing. Also on cable this month is START THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME. It has a number of weak points, but when it is funny, it is very funny. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper
