Dianne Feinstein Discusses Harvey Milk

DiFi opens up about the dark days of 1978... but what is this? "Feinstein, who has possession of White's diary, said his writings revealed a troubled man." Possession of his diary? How'd she get that?

Incidentally, I saw an advance screening of "Milk" last week here in New Haven. Some reviewers have compared it unfavorably to the Milk documentary ("The Times of Harvey Milk") that came out in 1984, which is probably a fair criticism (I haven't seen "Times"). IMHO "Milk" is not a great film, but it's a good political film respectful of its subject and respectful of politics as a central drama in human life, not just as a backdrop or vehicle for some trashy romantic intrigue, or for James Franco and Sean Penn snogging (though surely some tickets will be sold purely on account of the latter).

Here are some photos of yesterday's commemoration ceremony at Treasure Island. (I don't see Mayor Newsom in any of these pics - not sure why.)
