Plot lines "This was the year Hollywood cut loose from its audience and decided to pursue its own story line. None of the five [Academy Award] nominees for best picture did well at the box office. The winner -- 'Crash' -- was at best a gritty minor work, whose chief virtue was the message that Hollywood approves -- everyone is a racist. ... "So since Hollywood can't come up with scripts that resonate with middle America, here are a few suggestions: "?'The Fall of the Berlin Wall.' The most important historical event since World War II hasn't been touched on the screen. ... "?'The Alger Hiss Story.' A top American diplomat ... is accused of being a Soviet agent by a frumpy, down-at-the-heels magazine editor, Whittaker Chambers. ... The conspiracy -- which probably handed Eastern Europe to the Soviets -- begins to unravel. "?'Loyalties,' by Carl Bernstein. The hero of Watergate sets out to exonerate his parents and other victims of McCarthyism. After researching the story, however, he realizes they actually were working with the Soviets. ... "See you at next year's Oscars." -- William Tucker, writing on "Hollywood Loves Hollywood," Wednesday in the American Enterprise Online at www.taemag.org
