Not fond of Hanoi Jane.(CORRECTION, PLEASE!)(Correction Notice)
ITEM: In the San Bernardino County (Calif.) Sun for April 9, John Weeks commented: "In a stunning development..., actress Jane Fonda has apologized for her antiwar actions during the Vietnam era. In interviews to promote sales of her new autobiography, Fonda reverses her vehement position of more than 30 years and says she is sorry for a 1972 propaganda visit to North Vietnam, calling it 'the largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine.'"

This was hardly Hanoi Jane's conscience kicking in, and her remarks are nothing new; she issued similar half-hearted and very qualified regrets in 1988 and 2000. In her book, Fonda shows no remorse for her propaganda excursion, saying, "I do not regret that I went. My only regret ...
