Speaking of Mrs. Robinson, we were talking to my 4th grader at dinner about the state tests she's taking. Today was social studies, and a question asked for the author of the Declaration of Independence. The choices were a) Benjamin Franklin b) Thomas Jefferson c) Abraham Lincoln d) Benjamin Braddock -Win.

Poor Mrs. Robinson. She could be Mrs. Dangerfield for all the respect she gets. Here's what Roger Ebert says about her: The Graduate,'' released in 1967, contains no flower children, no hippies, no dope, no rock music, no political manifestos and no danger. It is a movie about a tiresome bore and his well-meaning parents. The only character in the movie who is alive--who can see through situations, understand motives, and dare to seek her own happiness--is Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). Seen today, ``The Graduate'' is a movie about a young man of limited interest, who gets a chance to sleep with the ranking babe in his neighborhood, and throws it away in order to marry her dorky daughter.
